Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds collard greens, washed, stalks trimmed, and roughly chopped (2 bunches)
- 4 oz bacon (or turkey bacon), sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3/4 cup minced sweet onions
- 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. When water boils, add collards and cook until wilted and tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
-
Place the bacon in a large frying pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and fat is rendered, about 3 minutes. Add onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add greens and turn to coat well. Add broth – it should cover greens. Let cook until broth is reduced and greens are very tender, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve.
