Provided by Christin Mahrlig

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds collard greens, (rinsed)
5 slices think bacon, (diced)
1 large onion, (diced)
3/4 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon tabasco sauce or other hot sauce
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Use a knife to cut on either side of the large rib running up each collard green leaf. Remove it and discard it. You don't need to go all the way up the leaf, just remove the thickest part. For smaller leaves, just remove the stem. Stack about 4 to 5 leaves, roll them up, and cut into 1/2-inch strips. Repeat with remaining leaves.
  • Cook bacon in a large pot over medium heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate.
  • Add onion to bacon fat and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  • Add broth, vinegar, sugar, red pepper flakes, and tabasco sauce to pot. Stir to combine.
  • Add collard greens and use tongs to turn and mix them until they reduce in size some. Cover, turn heat to low and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  • Before serving, sprinkle bacon on top and season to taste with salt and pepper.

These greens definitely have a kick. They're a perfect mixture of spice, veggies, herbs, and smoke, without the meat. They've got an edgy spice to them that authentic Caribbean and Mexican-cuisine lovers will enjoy. Even better, they're good for you - without the meat, without the fat, and without all the salt. For this recipe, use a regular eating spoon as your "teaspoon," and make all of your tablespoons slightly heaping (and slightly overflowing, for your tablespooned liquids). Enjoy!
