For a smoky flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or a teaspoon of liquid smoke to the dish during the last 10 minutes of simmering. If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the salt and pepper. Fresh collard greens are best, but frozen collard greens can be used in a pinch. Thaw and drain them before adding them to the skillet. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. The bouillon cube is salty; you may not need much additional salt.
