Collard Greens Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Collard Greens

   Wash the collard greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

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

3. 3

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same pot, add chopped onion and minced garlic to the bacon fat. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

4. 4

   Add Collard Greens and Broth

   Add the chopped collard greens to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer.

5. 5

   Season and Cook

   Add jalapeño powder, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Cover and let simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the greens are tender.

6. 6

   Finish and Serve

   Crumble the cooked bacon and stir it back into the collard greens before serving. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
