Method

1

Rinse and trim the Collard Greens, remove any thick stems, and slice the leaves into bite-sized ribbons.

2

Heat a large skillet or heavy pot over medium heat and melt the Niter Kibbeh until it shimmers.

3

Add the diced Onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5–7 minutes.

4

Stir in minced Garlic, grated Ginger, and chopped Green Chilies; cook 1–2 minutes more until fragrant.

5

Sprinkle in the Ground Turmeric and stir to coat the aromatics so the spice blooms.

6

Add the chopped greens to the pan, tossing to combine with the spiced butter and aromatics.

7

Pour in a splash of Water (start small — about a few tablespoons to 1/4 cup), cover, and simmer gently until the greens are tender, 10–20 minutes depending on thickness.

8

Season with Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper to taste; uncover and simmer a few minutes more if you want to reduce excess liquid.

9

Taste and adjust seasoning, finish with a little extra niter kibbeh if desired, and serve warm alongside injera, rice, or your favorite main.
