Tips
- Always taste for salt; if your broth tastes saltier than you prefer, just add water.
- If you want crunchier collards, decrease your cooking time; if you prefer softer, let it cook on low for 40+ minutes.
- Don't be shy with the garlic.
- Using chicken broth will take the flavor of your collard greens to the next level.
- The Better Than Bouillon chicken base seasoning packs a lot of flavor, so you don't need too much.
