Vegetarian Collard Greens

I didnt think that it was possible to make collard greens without that ham base, but I stand corrected....

1 TBSP olive oil

1 TBSP vegan butter

½ large onion, chopped

1 tsp red pepper flakes

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 lb collard greens, chopped

3 cups vegetable stock

2 tomatoes, chopped

salt and pepper to taste

In a large pot over medium heat, melt the vegan butter and olive oil together. Add the onion and sautee for about 3 minutes until softened. Add the red pepper flakes and garlic, cooking about 1 more minute. Add the collard greens and cook another minutes. Add the vegetable stock, cover and bring the contents of the pot to a simmer. Cook until the greens are tender, about 45 minutes. Add tomatoes in the last few minutes and season with salt and pepper! Serve!
