DRUNKEN COLLARD GREENS



Drunken Collard Greens image

Drunken Collard Greens, flavored with bourbon and bacon, is a southern side dish like no other. As much as I love traditional collard greens, adding a splash of bourbon really makes a fantastic pot of collards. The smooth, sweet flavor of bourbon really complements the flavor of the greens.

2 bunches fresh collard greens
1 tablespoon butter
4 slices thick-cut bacon, (cut into 1/4-inch pieces)

1/3 cup bourbon
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt

  • Add remaining ingredients except collard greens to the Dutch oven. Bring to a boil.

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 bunches collard greens, tough stems and ribs removed
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 large shallots, minced
2 cups heavy cream
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Fill a very large pot three-quarters full with water and bring to a boil. Add the collard greens to the water and make sure they are all well submerged. Return the water to a boil and simmer until the greens are tender and bright green, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the greens and run under cold water to stop the cooking. Drain the greens well, squeezing out excess water with your hands or by placing in a kitchen towel and squeezing. Chop the greens finely and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet or Dutch oven large enough to hold all of the greens. Add the garlic and shallots and cook over medium heat until softened but not browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the cream and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook until reduced by half, about 25 minutes - watch carefully as the cream can quickly boil over! Add the greens and toss until warmed through. Season generously with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Add to a serving dish and sprinkle with the Parmesan.

SKINNY DRUNKEN COLLARDS



Skinny Drunken Collards image

Growing up in the south, collard greens were a vegetable that was served just about every Sunday and holiday. They were usually cooked with fatty ham hocks, smoked pigs tails or smoked bacon. To top it off "LARD". Now don't get me wrong, I will always love and cook by friend "PORK". I love these greens so much, I decided to do a recipe with less fat and just as tasty. My Mississippi Man, Roy enjoyed them, and he is a hard sell. I hope that you will enjoy this great vegetable. Happy Cooking! sw:)
