Southern Style Collard Greens

I’ll admit it. As a born and raised Northerner, collard greens were pretty foreign to me. But I wanted to try out something new so I gave it a try. The thing you have to remember about collard greens is that they are a bitter vegetable. You need to slow cook it with some flavoring to make it edible. I enjoyed these once done, the bitterness was calmed by the bacon and broth. If you want to try making these, this is a good first recipe to try. 

Ingredients:

3 slices bacon, chopped

1/2 onion, diced

2 garlic cloves, minced

3 cups chicken broth

1 pound collard greens, chopped course

 

Instructions:

1) Place Dutch oven on stove over medium heat and cook bacon till fat renders, 2 minutes.

2) Add onion and cook until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.

3) Pour in broth and increase heat to medium-high and simmer.

4) Add the greens and once wilted, cover pan and lower heat to medium low.

5) Simmer for 1 hour and season with salt and pepper.
