Smoky Slow-Cooked Collard Greens
Ingredients
  • 1 bunch collard greens, thinly sliced
  • 3 slices bacon
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons sliced fresh jalapeno pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Start by submerging the collard greens into a substantial vessel and covering them with a brine solution infused with salt; bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
2
Gradually decrease the heat to a moderate-low setting and let the greens cook until they are just soft enough, taking around 10 minutes.
3
Next, remove the greens from the pot and transfer them to a slow cooker.
4
Subsequently, place the bacon in a large, deep pan and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until it is uniformly browned on all sides, taking approximately 10 minutes.
5
Once the bacon has reached the desired level of browning, crumble it into smaller pieces and add it to the slow cooker along with a sufficient amount of chicken stock and sliced jalapenos.
6
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, then proceed to cook it on a low setting for an extended period of 8 hours or overnight.
