Collard greens sautéed in clarified butter and spices is a classic Ethiopian side dish. Our plant-based riff is free of added fat and brings Swiss chard into the mix for extra leafy green goodness. The rich aromas of coriander, cumin, and cardamom infuse the greens with an undeniably delicious flavor, and a splash of plant-based milk adds a subtle creaminess. Serve these eye-catching Ethiopian collard greens with a hearty stew and a slice of crusty whole wheat bread, and you’ve got an East African feast ready to be devoured.
