Quick Collard Greens
Food Ingredients:
1 bunch of collard greens 3 strips of bacon Pinch of crushed red pepper 1 tablespoon cider vinegar 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce Dash of your favorite hot sauce (optional)
Recipe preparation:
1 Bring a large stock pan full of water to a boil. 2 Remove middle stalk from collards, rinse leaves and slice. (They will wilt and shrink considerably so I don’t chop or make the slices too small.) 3 Add collards to boiling water for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. 4 In a skillet, add bacon, cook until crispy, drain on paper towels and crumble. Keep the drippings in the pan. 5 Drain collards and try to shake off as much of the water as possible. 6 Reheat pan that has bacon drippings over medium heat. 7 Add crushed red pepper and collards and saute for 2-3 minutes. 8 Add a quick drizzle of cider vinegar and Worcestershire sauce, and continue to saute for a few more minutes until a fair amount of the liquid has evaporated. 9 Season collards to taste by adding more vinegar, Worcestershire or hot sauce and add crumbled bacon right before serving.
