Collard Greens

Had to make collards because of the farmer.
Prep collards by washing them and folind in half and ripping out the center stalk.

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 slices bacon
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • sirachi (maybe 1 t)
  • 1 pound fresh collard greens, cut into 2-inch pieces

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add bacon, and cook until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, crumble and return to the pan. Add onion, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, and cook until just fragrant. Add collard greens, and fry until they start to wilt.
  2. Pour in chicken broth, and season with salt, pepper & sirachi. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until greens are tender.

  1. Made 4/17/11
    Added sirachi at the end to taste since I was scared of the spice. Maybe ended up being 1/2 - 1t total. I could drink this broth.

    I used 4 c. of chicken stock because I think I had more collards than the recipe called for.
