Ingredients
- 1 bunch of collard greens (about 1 pound)
- 4-6 slices of bacon
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Wash the collard greens thoroughly, removing any tough stems or veins. Then chop the leaves into small pieces.
Step 2
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pot and set it aside on a paper towel to drain.
Step 3
Add the chopped onion to the bacon fat in the pot and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Step 4
Add the collard greens to the pot, along with the broth and apple cider vinegar. Stir well to combine.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 45 minutes to an hour, or until the collard greens are tender.
Step 6
Crumble the cooked bacon and add it back to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 7
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious and healthy collard greens!
