Bacon Braised Collard Greens
Ingredients
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3 bunches collard greens - rinsed, stemmed and thinly sliced
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
Instructions
1
Boil a large quantity of water in a substantial container until it reaches a rolling boil.
2
Place the potatoes inside the large pot, ensuring they are completely submerged in the water.
3
Increase the heat to its highest setting and maintain it at that level until the potatoes are cooked through.
4
Add the collard greens to the pot before they finish cooking, allowing them to cook alongside the potatoes.
5
Cook diced bacon in a deep frying pan over its highest heat setting until it reaches an even, golden brown color.
6
Remove the cooked bacon from the pan and place it on a stack of paper towels to absorb excess fat, allowing it to drain.
7
Sauté sliced onions in the remaining bacon grease over medium heat until they are tender and fragrant.
8
Drain the onions from the pan, removing any excess grease, and add them to the pot with the collard greens.
9
Crumble the cooked bacon into small pieces and stir it into the pot with the collards and onions.
10
Simmer the entire mixture over low heat for approximately one hour, allowing the flavors to meld together and the greens to become tender.
