Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup onion diced
  • 3 stalks celery diced
  • 1 cup carrots peeled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 14 ounces smoked sausage sliced
  • 32 ounces chicken stock
  • 28 ounces tomatoes, crushed or diced
  • 6 cups collard greens, packed cleaned and chopped, stems removed
  • 2 cans black-eyed peas drained and rinsed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • pinch red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Heat the oil and butter in a large Dutch oven or stockpot. Add the onion, carrots, celery, thyme, and garlic. Saute for 5 minutes.
  • Move the vegetables to the side and add the sausage. Saute until the sausage is lightly browned.
  • Add the chicken stock, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well, scraping the bottom to release all the bits that stuck to the bottom of the pot.
  • Bring to a boil. Add the collard greens and cook for 15-20 minutes until the collards become tender.
  • Add the peas, reduce the heat, and simmer until everything is thoroughly heated.
