Kickin' Collard Greens

I'm a southern girl, born and bred, and I love southern food. That includes collard greens. I was blessed this week to have one of Pup Daddy's colleagues give us fresh collards from her home garden. Pup Daddy even found this recipe for them on AllRecipes.com. Even though I'm from a southern girl and love collards I've never made them before and thought it would be very difficult. I was so wrong. It does take some time...prepping the greens and cooking them on low heat for quite a while, but they are not difficult. This recipe is so delicious. You should try it soon!

Directions
1 tablespoon olive oil

3 slices bacon

1 large onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

3 cups chicken broth

1 pinch red pepper flakes

1 pound fresh collard greens, cut into 2-inch pieces

 

Ingredients

 

 

Pour in chicken broth, and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until greens are tender. (I cooked mine about an hour and a half.)
