Any kind of broth or stock would work fine, whatever you have on hand, which I always have homemade chicken broth. Could be vegetarian dish with vegetable broth though.

    I have a garden full of greens and needed a new healthy way to cook them, so THANKS! I used more greens than 4 cups, but wish I had used at least half as much red pepper. VERY hot for my taste, but I've rarely cooked with red pepper, so wasn't sure what "my taste" needed. - 11/1/10
