Ingredients
6 thick bacon slices, chopped into large pieces
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds collard greens (about to 2 large bunches), stems discarded, leaves washed and chopped
1 tablespoon honey
A few dashes of hot sauce
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Directions
- Add bacon to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove from the pan and set aside, leaving the fat in the pan.
- Add the onion to the bacon grease and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook, stirring, for another 30 seconds or so, until fragrant. Add the greens, honey, hot sauce and a few pinches of salt and pepper. Cook the greens, stirring occasionally, until greens are nice and tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Taste and add more salt and/or pepper if necessary. Serve hot with bacon on top.
