Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 slices of bacon, uncooked and chopped up
Oil (I used Avocado Oil, but Olive oil would work just fine)
1 cup diced sweet onion
1 pound collard greens, washed and sliced into 2-3 inch pieces
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
3 cups chicken broth
White vinegar (optional)

Steps:

Add a little bit oil to the pot of your Instant Pot and set to medium saute.
Yes, this bacon is not chopped up - but it cooks a lot faster and easier when it is ???? I ended up chopping it up after I took this picture.
Once the oil is heated, add bacon and cook until done. Remove and put in a bowl.
Remove and cook onions in the bacon grease and oil for about five minutes. Add garlic at the end and cook for about one minute - stir the entire time to prevent burning.
Remove onion and garlic and deglaze the bottom of the pan with a couple of splashes of water
Add the collards into the pot along with the bacon, onion, garlic and a little extra oil and saute until wilted
Add salt and pepper.
Add chicken broth and stir with the wilted collards.
Put the lid on the pot, seal it, and set to five minutes on the steam setting.
Once the timer goes over, quick pressure release all the pressure
Serve immediately - use a slotted spoon to serve. There will be a lot of liquid, so the slotted spoon is essential!
Save
Add a little vinegar if you desire!

Tips

To save time, you can use pre-washed and chopped collard greens.
If you don't have chicken broth, you can use vegetable broth or water.
You can add other vegetables to the pot, such as chopped onions, celery, or carrots.
If you like your collard greens spicy, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Serve the collard greens with cornbread, rice, or mashed potatoes.
