  2. Add onions, garlic and berbere. Add the sliced red onions, the garlic and a little berbere.
  3. Add the gomen. Add the cut collard greens. They will probably fill the pot, so use a good size one. They shrink as they cook.

Ethiopians cook by feel, not by measuring, so treat the amounts as a starting point.
