Yummy Collard Greens!




Try this easy to make recipe for yummy collard greens. This is one of our favorite side dishes. The bitterness of the collard greens really compliments the saltiness of the bacon. As a person that grew up eating lots of rice, this is a great substitute especially with a big piece of good steak.

Ingredients:

1 bunch of collard greens (rinsed)
1 large shallots (sliced)
5 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
5 bacon (sliced)
1 cup broth (chicken, beef or vegetable)
Pinch of salt and pepper


Procedure:

  1. Cut and discard the stems from the greens. Then cut across the leaves so they are 2-inch ribbons.
  2. Cook bacon in a pan over medium high heat until crispy.
  3. Scoop out bacon and saute shallots using bacon  grease until translucent.
  4. Add garlic and saute for 2 more minutes.
  5. Put in collard greens, mixing it with the shallots and garlic to incorporate flavors.
  6. Pour in broth and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Place in a platter ang garnish with crisped bacon.
  8. Enjoy!
