Grilled Collard Greens
- Level: Easy
- Yield: 6 to 8 servings
- Total: 20 min
- Prep: 10 min
- Cook: 10 min
Ingredients
Salt
1 bunch collard greens
2 to 3 slices bacon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Bring a large pot of salted water, over medium heat, to a boil.
Directions
- Preheat grill to high heat.
- Remove the ribs from the collard greens and discard. Put the leaves into the boiling, water, then add the bacon slices and blanch the collard greens for about 2 minutes. Remove the leaves from the water and place into an ice water bath to stop the cooking process.
- Remove the collards from the ice water and stack the leaves flat on top of each other, about 7 to 9 at a time. Put the stacked collards on the grill for 4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the leaves from the grill to a cutting board and roughly chop. Put into a serving bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
