Southern Collard Greens

Ingredients

• •2 bunches fresh collard greens
• •6 slices bacon
• •1 large onion, diced
• •4 cloves garlic, minced
• •6 cups chicken broth (gluten-free)
• •1 teaspoon salt
• •1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• •1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• •2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Directions

1. 1Cook bacon in a large pot over medium heat until crispy, then remove and crumble, leaving 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the pot.
2. 2Sauté diced onion in the bacon fat for 5 minutes until softened, then add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
3. 3Wash and chop collard greens, removing tough stems, then add to the pot along with chicken broth, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
4. 4Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes until greens are tender.
5. 5Stir in apple cider vinegar and crumbled bacon, then taste and adjust seasonings before serving.

💡 Collard greens need enough simmering time for tough fibres to soften, but acid should be added later so it does not slow tenderness.
