Collard Greens
Tender, nutritious and full of flavor. Southern style Collard Greens simmered in a rich broth and made with just a few staple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 large Bunch collard greens
- 4 Slices thick cut bacon roughly chopped
- ½ Large onion small diced
- 2 Cloves garlic minced
- 2 qt chicken stock
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1-2 pinch red pepper flakes
- As Needed salt
- As Needed pepper
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Prep the collards by rinsing and removing the ribs. Then roughly chop the collard greens into roughly 2-3 inch pieces.
- In a large pot over medium heat sauté the bacon and onions until the onions have browned slightly and are soft. Add in the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
- Now add in the chicken stock, brown sugar, vinegar and red pepper flakes. Mix well.
- Add the collard greens to the pot, stir then bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 1 hour or until tender. Stirring occasionally.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
