Photo: Short-Cut Collard Greens Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds collard greens
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 slices Canadian bacon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/8 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
- 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- Salt
Directions
Remove the stems and center ribs from the collard greens and discard. Cut the leaves into 1/2-inch strips. Place the greens into a large, microwave-safe bowl with the water and cover tightly. Microwave on high for 5 minutes.
In the meantime, preheat a large skillet and cook the bacon for 2 minutes on each side. Remove the bacon from the pan, chop, and set aside. Add the oil and onion to the pan and cook until onions have softened, about 2 minutes. Add the collard greens and stir in the vinegar, maple syrup, red pepper flakes, and broth. Bring to a simmer and cook, covered, for 30 minutes. Add the chopped bacon to the pan, and season with salt.

Admittedly we changed the recipe a bit to suit our taste buds....but we only left out the maple syrup and used a bit more than a 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes. With these changes the collard greens were amazing!!! Next time I will keep the same amount of red pepper flakes that we used but will add just a touch of maple syrup. I am sure it will be wonderful. Follow the recipe or change it slightly and it is still wonderful!!! :

Have made this recipe several times. Husband does not like collard greens - or so he said. He goes back for seconds everytime I serve this. Now even tells his mom he likes collard greens! this last time didn't have quite enough collard greens, but had some fresh bok choy left over from another recipe - added the bok choy - fantastic. Love using the Canadian Bacon - just the right touch.
