Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces bacon, chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 to 2 bunches collard greens, washed, stems removed and chopped
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the bacon in cold 12-inch skillet. Heat the pan over medium heat and cook until the bacon is crispy and the fat is rendered. Once crispy, set aside on a paper-towel-lined plate. To the leftover bacon fat, add the red pepper and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Stack the leaves of collards and roll tightly into a cigar shape. Then chop away.
  • Add the collards to the pan along with the apple cider vinegar, red pepper flakes and some salt and pepper and cook until tender, but still bright green, 4 to 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning if necessary. Toss with the reserved crispy bacon and serve.

I'm not a fan of the liquid smoke in this recipe. I think it gives the collards a strange flavor.
