SWEET AND TANGY COLLARD GREENS
On New Year's Day, Julia Sullivan, chef at Henrietta Red in Nashville, TN, makes black-eyed peas and these collard greens. "It's something my mom has always done, and I think my grandparents, too. It's a superstitious thing. The black-eyed peas bring good luck, and the greens symbolize money." Finishing these collard greens with vinegar means they tend to be on the acidic side. If you like yours sweeter, add less vinegar and up the sugar.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium. Add bacon, if using, and cook, stirring occasionally, until some of the fat begins to collect in the pot and bacon starts to look shiny, about 5 minutes. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and softened, 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Working in batches, add collard greens to pot, letting greens wilt slightly after each handful before adding more. Add broth, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring often, until greens wilt and lose about half of their original volume, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover pot, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until greens are tender and liquid is almost completely evaporated, 25-30 minutes. Stir in vinegar and sugar and cook another minute to allow sugar to dissolve; season with salt and pepper.

Tips:
- For optimal flavor, select fresh, tender collard greens with deep green leaves and no signs of wilting or yellowing.
- Prepare the collard greens by removing the tough stems and coarsely chopping the leaves. Washing them thoroughly is essential to eliminate any dirt or debris.
- Enhance the taste of the dish by using high-quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is preferred for its rich flavor and health benefits.
- Roast the garlic cloves until they are caramelized and fragrant. This adds a delightful depth of flavor to the collard greens.
- Choose unsalted peanuts for a healthier and more controlled sodium intake. Dry-roasted peanuts offer a satisfying crunch without the added oil.
- Add a touch of sweetness and earthiness by including turnips and sweet potatoes. Cut them into uniform-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Season the roasted vegetables generously with a blend of spices, including paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. This combination creates a harmonious and flavorful profile.
- For a tangy and refreshing balance, incorporate lemon juice and zest. These ingredients brighten up the dish and complement the roasted vegetables perfectly.
