Greens: collards, usually, sometimes mustard, or kale, always good for you, but too often overcooked. Here's a quick way to make tasty, crowd pleasing greens.
2 lbs of greens. (Collards, Mustard Greens or Kale. You choose. You can also mix them together.) 1/2 teaspoon vinegar
1 tablespoon of olive oil
8-12 strips of bacon. (Substitute for turkey bacon if you like)
4 cloves of garlic
1 small red onion
1/4 cup chopped parsely
salt and pepper to taste
Step 1
Chop greens into slim strips. Wash throughly. (Chopping the greens into slim pieces will help them cook faster and prevent you from overcooking them.) Set aside.
Step 2
In a large pan, brown bacon until golden. When cooked, chop bacon into pieces, set aside and reserve pan drippings.
Step 3
In stockpot or Wok, add olive oil and bacon drippings. Coarsely chop garlic and onions and sautee until translucent.
Step 4
Add greens. Allow to cook down until wilted, then add vinegar, salt and pepper.
Add bacon and toss with greens. Allow greens to sit for a couple minutes then transfer to a plate.
(This process should take about 10-15minutes)
These greens will be a bit chewy--that's the point. They should also be bright green in some spots, if they're a dark, brownish color overall, they've been overcooked, but that's ok. They'll still be good.
