Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large bunch collard greens
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 bay leaf
- 4 slices bacon, roughly chopped
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Bragg’s apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Remove stalks and stems from collard greens (these can be saved and frozen for later uses, such as making broth). Wash and thoroughly dry the leaves.
- In a large pot over medium heat, cook the olive oil and then add bacon, bay leaf, garlic and onion. Cook about 10 minutes, or until onions soften.
- Rip the greens into big pieces and add them to the pot, pressing them down with a spatula.
- Add broth, vinegar, sugar and red pepper flakes. Boil, and as the greens wilt, turn them in the pot. Reduce heat and cook, simmering and covered, for 1 hour. Remove bay leaf and season greens with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with cornbread and Wolff’s Apple BBQ pulled pork.
