Serves 10

Ingredients
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, cut into thin crescents
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
12 cups chicken stock (or vegetable stock)
1 bunch (1-pound) collard greens
1 bunch (1-pound) chard
1 bunch (1-pound) kale
1 bunch (1-pound) mustard greens, stems trimmed

Directions
In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add onion, garlic, salt, and red pepper and sauté until tender, about 8 minutes. Add chicken stock and bring to a simmer, about 5 minutes.

Add collard greens to pot and simmer in broth for 15 to 20 minutes. Using tongs, remove from broth, shaking off any excess liquid. Transfer to a sheet pan and spread out to cool (this will help greens retain their color). Repeat with remaining greens one bunch at a time, cooking each separately for 10 to 15 minutes.

Remove stockpot from heat while greens cool. Then add all cooled greens back to pot together and gently reheat to desired temperature over low heat.
