Yummy collard greens What you need: 2 bunches of collard greens 6 bacon strips cut into 1/4 inch wide pieces (could substitute with diced ham or turkey bacon) 2 tbs vinegar 1/2 chopped red onion 2 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth How to make It: Stack collard greens on top of one another. Make sure leaves are completely spread open. Cut the stem out of the middle by cutting lengthwise the entire leaf on each side of the stem. **** THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP (in the picture you can see that I didn't do that and I had to go through after and cut out the stems, huge pain !) Once the stems are cut out.... cut vertically 1 inch strips. Fill a large bowl with cold water and add collard greens. Let soak and then dump into a strainer. Let ALL water drain out. In a LARGE skillet over med/high heat.. add 2 tbs olive oil. Add finely chopped red onion and bacon. Cook until bacon browns. Once browned, add all the collard greens. Cook on med high for 2-3 min. Reduce heat and add vinegar. Cover and let cook for 5 min. Add chicken broth. Keep on med heat, cover. Cook for 20-30 min. Once cooking is done. Turn off heat and let sit for 45 min for best flavor. Serve and ENJOY!!!
