1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
½ tsp black pepper, plus more to taste
8 oz chouriço or linguiça, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
8 oz collard greens or curly kale (about 1 medium bunch), stems removed, leaves stacked and sliced into very thin ribbons (chiffonade)

For serving

1–2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, for finishing
crusty bread, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 6–8 minutes.
2
Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute, watching closely so it does not brown.
