Photo: Main Challenge: Spicy Southern Collard Greens with Sweet Maple Cornbread Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 to 2-pound smoked salt pork (thickly sliced) or turkey wings
- 1 onion, halved
- 1 quart chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 pounds fresh collard greens, washed, stems removed and roughly chopped
- 6 cloves garlic
- Sweet Maple Cornbread, recipe follows
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the pork pieces and brown on both sides, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the onion, cut sides down, and brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth. Season with chili flakes, salt, vinegar and garlic powder. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat to a simmer. Adjust seasoning, if desired. Add the collard greens and garlic cloves, stir to combine and cover. Cook until greens are tender, approximately 35 to 45 minutes. Remove the onion halves, garlic cloves, pork pieces, for better presentation. Transfer the greens to a serving bowl.

These greens were AWESOME. If you want some banging flavor... then this is it!!! And it had just the right spiciness, at least for me. If you don't like onions & garlic, then this isn't for you. I wish Jamika would have won, I would love to taste more of her dishes.

The greens were very tasty and flavorful. I also cooked them longer than 45 min to make sure they were tender. Careful with the salt in the greens -- between the salt pork, chicken stock and added salt, they were really salty. Next time I will cut back a good bit. The cornbread was meh -- kind of dry and no hint of maple came through. Maybe increase the maple syrup next time. I also left out the butter brushing before serving, which might have moistened it up a bit. Served these two with EJ's Simple Oven-BBQ Ribs and sweet potato fries -- all in all it was a pretty Sunday night dinner.
