A staple vegetable in Liberia, collard greens are cooked in a variety of ways across the West African nation and its vast diaspora. Whole leaves wrap an array of proteins for gentle steaming, and shredded leaves with their stems are added to various soups and stews. Stewed greens are the most popular preparation, known for being robust and deep in flavor with a lot of nuance. This recipe is adapted from Ope Amosu, the chef of Houston’s ChòpnBlok restaurants, who serves the stewed greens as a dip for plantain chips. He combines sturdy greens, bell peppers, onions and prawns with fermented, smoked and dried ingredients. Over a long simmer, the vegetables slowly relax, yielding to the broth and absorbing the surrounding flavors. Serve as a dip for chips or fritters, or alongside xaawash braised lamb shanks, crispy suya-spiced salmon or a starchy swallow.
