Slow Cooked Collard Greens

This is my variation on a recipe I found from Tyler Florence on Food Network. He uses a ham hock but I prefer bacon. Easier to find and much tastier.

Ingredient

Food ration :

6-8 servings

Cooking time :

45 mins

2 bags

(or bunches) of cleaned and chopped Collards or Turnip or Mustard Greens (or any combination of greens listed above)

3 tablespoons

olive oil

onion, sliced

garlic cloves, smashed

bay leaves

10 oz

bacon, chopped

2 quarts

chicken broth, warm

2 tablespoons

cider vinegar

1 teaspoon

sugar

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

2 BAGS OF CLEANED AND CHOPPED GREENS. (prefer Glory brand)

* Step 2

Heat pot over medium heat and add bacon. Render fat from bacon at medium heat until bacon is crisp. Remove crisp bacon pieces onto a paper towel and set aside. Keep the bacon fat in the pot.

* Step 3

Add the onion, garlic. Cook until the onions are soft and starting to brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.

* Step 4

Add the broth (scraping any brown bits from bottom of pot), vinegar, and sugar. Pack in the greens, pushing them down into the pot.

* Step 5

Add Bay leaves.

* Step 6

Bring up to a boil turning the greens over occasionally with a wooden spoon as they wilt. Lower to a simmer, cover the pot, and let cook for 45 minutes.
