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.

    GREAT GREENS and SO EASY!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    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.Read more

    I was watching the show today and in lieu of collard greens, I stepped into my garden in the back yard, harvested some... gorgeous broccoli leaves and substitued them in this recipe and it was absolutely wonderful.Read more
