Photo: Quick-Braised Greens with Bacon and Sweet Onions Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds collard greens, washed, trimmed, and roughly chopped
- 4 ounces bacon, sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3/4 cup minced sweet onions
- 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. When water boils, add greens and cook until wilted and tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Place bacon in a large frying pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and fat is rendered, about 3 minutes. Add onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add greens and turn to coat well. Add broth - it should cover greens and let cook until broth is reduced and greens are very tender, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve.

I love this recipe! It's very quick and easy and you don't have to do much. I make it practically every year for the holidays.

I do not have much experience with collard greens, but I found this recipe very easy to prepare and quite delicious. I will make this again.

I've gone back to work and the desire to make a home cooked meal after a long day seems to have gone as well. On top of that, we are bored with our regular menus. My husband and I were watching t.v. and somehow stopped on the food network. The menu she prepared seemed so simple and delicious that I started writing everything down from memory. My husband (not the experimenter said he would eat everything if I made it. I got the exact recipes online and went to the grocery store. I even invited my parents over...I don't usually experiment on unsuspecting relatives but I felt good about this. I can't believe how tender and flavorful the greens were in such a short amount of time. IT WAS GREAT!!! Everyone loved it and my husband actually ate everything on his plate!!! The sweet potatoes & collard greens complemented the tenderloin perfectly!
My mother asked me to e-mail her the recipes and my daughter couldn't get enough of the sweet potatoes. THANKS AIDA!!! This has definitely been added to our menus.
