The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 bunches fresh collard greens
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon, (cut into 1/4-inch pieces)

  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instruction

  • Rinse collard greens well. Remove stem and thick part of the rib from each leaf and discard. Stack about 8 leaves on top of each other, roll up like a cigar and cut into 1/2-inch ribbons. Repeat with remaining leaves.
  • Add butter,  bacon and onion to a large Dutch oven. Cook until the bacon is crisp and the onion is tender.
  • Add remaining ingredients except collard greens to the Dutch oven. Bring to a boil.
  • Add collard greens and stir until the collard greens are mostly wilted. Reduce heat, cover and cook for about 1 1/2 hours.
