Grandma's Southern Collard Greens
Ingredients
  • 2 cups chopped red onion
  • 2 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 1/4 cups chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 4 pounds collard greens - rinsed, trimmed and chopped
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat, adding sliced onion and diced bacon. Cook until the onion becomes translucent and softens in texture, taking around 5 to 7 minutes.
2
Next, pour in the chicken stock, add a splash of vinegar, and sprinkle brown sugar into the mixture. Stir constantly until the brown sugar has fully dissolved, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
3
Now, add half of the collard greens to the pot and lower the heat to a more moderate level. Continue cooking until the greens have started to lose their firmness and are slightly tender, approximately 10 minutes.
4
Add the remaining collard greens to the pot and gently stir them in with the other ingredients. Then, reduce the heat even further to a low setting and let the mixture simmer for about 30 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of tenderness. Finally, add a pinch of salt and pepper to season the dish.
