    I have never had collard greens before (only seen them on TV but finally saw them in my local grocery store and had to try them. I splurged and used 4 slices of regular bacon instead of back bacon, and also used a shallot rather than a small onion, and it was delish! The contrast of the cider vinegar and maple syrup along with the subtle heat of the red pepper flakes was lovely. Definitely recommend!

    I have made this recipe about a dozen times since I first found it this summer -- it succeeds in blowing guests away each time! The flavor combination is perfect -- salty, sweet, tangy, and a little bit of heat -- and is ridiculously easy to make. I love that it's also so healthful -- makes a good ol' fashioned barbecue feel a little more on-point with modern health goals... Can't recommend this recipe enough! Thanks, Ellie!!! :

    I didn't use the bacon. Wish I had it on hand. Sauted sweet onions then followed the recipe but did not cover it, just let it simmer. It came out very tasty.

    with the exception of using 'American' (streaky bacon, not Canadian bacon, I followed the recipe exactly and it was great

    My first time to fix collard greens and we loved them. I used bacon instead of the Canadian bacon and added the drippings in the pan but not all the fat. I also sauted garlic with the onion. This will be a repeat!

    I have never been a big super greens "eater". Even when my Mom would make them with a turkey leg instead of pork butt, still not crazy about them. That was then but now....whole different story! When you make this dish, I highly advise you make some just for you and then some for others because it's real easy to eat the whole dish by yourself. It was alllllll I could do to contain myself until my fiance came over for dinner to try this dish on him. He called it a keeper. There were barely any left. I too altered the receipe since I don't eat pork. First I used turkey bacon. Try not to make it too crispy. I still boiled my greens but added the broth powder/cubes during the cooking process. When they shrunk I added them to the skillet with the other ingredients and my turkey bacon. I would recommend using as many thick pieces of bacon that you can cut up. I also kept adding a little more maple syrup to give it that extra sweet goodness. YUM YUM YUM! Thank you Ellie for making me appreciate greens! I am planning to pass this on to my Mom. She may resist at first but I think she will be captivated once she tries them!!!

    ok, so i altered the recipe just a tad....i used regular chicken broth, no maple syrup and regular bacon instead of canadian-this dish is DELECIOUS!! who knew you could microwave collard greens and the end result is just as good as the old fashion way. i will try the canadian bacon next time and the reduced salt broth but honey i tell you, it is SO GOOD!! i am on my way for seconds-ENJOY!

    I grew up eating fresh greens of all kinds. As an adult, I have rarely been pleased with my own cooking of southern vegetables, but - once again - Ellie Krieger comes through. These are so easy that a retired civil engineer can make great collards! Thanks, Ellie.
