Ingredients
- 1 bunch collard greens
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
- 1/2 cup sliced yellow onion
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 1/2 cups cooked white rice warmed
- 2 1/2 cups southern-style vegan black eyed peas warmed
- 1/2 cup sliced raw or pickled red onion
- 1/2 cup spiralized zucchini pickles
- 1/4 cup sliced green onion
Instructions
- Separate the collard green stems from the leaves. Dice the stems and set them aside. Roughly chop the leaves.
- Heat the grapeseed oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the collard green stems along with the sliced yellow onion; sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until the onions are lightly browned. Add the garlic to the pan and sauté for an additional minute.
- Add the chopped leaves to the pan along with the red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and 2 tablespoons of water.
- Toss the collard greens to coat the leaves in the pan liquid, then cover the pan and turn the heat down to medium-low. Allow the greens to steam, stirring occasionally, until the leaves are bright green and tender (about 4 to 5 minutes).
- Divide the rice, black-eyed peas, and collard greens into four bowls. Top each with a quarter of the red onion and zucchini pickles. Garnish with sliced green onion and serve warm.

Notes
- Store any leftover Vegan Soul Food Bowls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. While it's possible to freeze the components separately (especially the black-eyed peas and collard greens) for up to 2 months, be aware that the texture of the greens might change slightly.
- To reheat, use a microwave or stovetop, adding a little water if necessary to prevent drying out, especially for the greens. It's best to add fresh garnishes like sliced onions or pickles after reheating.
