Braised Collard Greens With Bacon Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Bacon

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

2. 2

   Sauté the Aromatics

   Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

3. 3

   Add Collard Greens

   Gradually add the chopped collard greens to the pot, stirring to combine with the onions and garlic.

4. 4

   Simmer the Greens

   Pour in the chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the collard greens are tender.

5. 5

   Finish and Serve

   Stir the cooked bacon back into the pot. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm.
