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
- 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.
- 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.

ReplyDeleteAdded 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.
