Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 strips bacon, cut into small lardons
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic, sliced
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
1 large bunch collard greens, stemmed and sliced into 1-inch strips
1/2 cup chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a deep saute pan on medium-high heat until crisp, then set aside, leaving the fat in the pan. Add the red pepper flakes, garlic and lemon zest, and saute until fragrant. Add the collard greens and cook until they begin to wilt. Add the chicken stock and 1/2 cup water and cover, lowering the heat to a simmer. Let cook until the greens are tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Uncover, add back the bacon, raise the heat to medium-high, and reduce the liquid by one-quarter, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my collard greens turned out too salty. I think I'll use less bacon next time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I ended up adding some extra spices and herbs to give it more flavor.

Not bad! I'm not a huge fan of collard greens, but this recipe was pretty good. The bacon and vinegar added a nice touch.
