White Beans and Collard Greens Skillet
  1. 1

    Warm 2 tablespoons water in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion and the garlic in the water until the onion is soft and translucent, about 10 minutes; add more water as needed to keep it from scorching. Stir the vegetarian bouillon into the onion mixture until blended.

  2. 2

    Stir the tomatoes, 1 1/4 cups water, and the collard greens into the onion mixture. Season with salt and pepper; cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the beans and the sugar and continue simmering until the liquid evaporates, about 10 minutes more. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
