Spicy Collards and White Beans

Name: Spicy Collards and White Beans
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 bunch collards, de-stemmed, rolled, and cut into ribbons; 1/2 tablespoon olive oil; 1/2 large yellow onion (about 7 oz), diced very finely; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire sauce; 1/2 tablespoon pure maple syrup; 2 cups no- or low-sodium vegetable broth (I use a salt-free homemade broth); Crushed red pepper flakes, to taste; 8 oz cannellini beans (about half a can)

Instructions

For meat-eaters, the classic pot of stewed collards features ham or bacon — ugh. This one skips right over those typical salty, smoky flavors in favor of something lighter and a little more heart-healthy: a brothy, spicy pot of collards and beans.
