Technique to learn

Chiffonade Greens Sautéing

Cutting leafy greens into very thin ribbons to minimize cooking time while trapping aromatic fat and broth.

Instructions

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced red onion and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent.
Step 2: Add minced garlic, ground cumin, and turmeric; stir constantly for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until browned.

Step 4: Stir in diced tomatoes and salt, cooking for 3 minutes until tomatoes soften and release their juices.

Step 5: Pour in beef broth to deglaze the bottom of the skillet, scraping up any browned bits.

Step 6: Add sliced collard greens in batches, tossing continuously for 5 minutes until wilted yet vibrant green.

Step 7: Season to taste with extra salt if needed, remove from heat, and serve warm.
