3 pounds collard greens
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 medium carrots, chopped
2 medium onions, chopped
1 medium Russet potato, scrubbed and chopped into 1-inch pieces
1 celery rib, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

1 garlic clove, minced
2 quarts water
1 1/2 tablespoons Vege-Sal (available at natural foods groceries)
Cider vinegar, for sprinkling

1
In a large sink of lukewarm water, agitate the collard greens well to remove any hidden grit.
2
Carefully lift the greens out of the water and transfer them to a colander, leaving the grit on the bottom of the sink.

Repeat the procedure in a sink of fresh water.
4
Cut off the woody stems, and chop them crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick pieces.
5
Coarsely chop the collard leaves.
6
Heat the oil in a 5-quart saucepan or soup kettle.
7
Add the carrots, onions, potato celery, ginger, chile peppers, and garlic.
8
Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the vegetables have softened, about 6 minutes.
9
Stir in the chopped stems and the water; bring to a boil.
10
Add a batch of collard leaves, cover and let them wilt, about 5 minutes; stir the greens down.
11
Continue to add the greens in batches until they all fit into the pot.
12
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often, until all the vegetables are just tender, about 1 hour.
13
Stir in the Vege-Sal, cover tightly, and remove from the heat; let stand for 15 minutes.

Serve with vinegar on the side, for each guest to season his or her own serving.
