Southern Collard Greens
Ingredients
  • 1 bunch collard greens, chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) package hickory-smoked bacon, diced
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cubes chicken bouillon, crumbled
  • 1 cup water
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 pinch ground thyme, or to taste
  • 1 pinch dried savory, or to taste
  • 4 teaspoons milk
Instructions
1
Place collard greens in a large container filled with salted water, and then bring the mixture to a rolling boil. After that, decrease the heat to a lower temperature and let it simmer until the greens are soft and tender, which should take around an hour.
2
Remove from heat and drain the water.
3
In a separate large pan, cook bacon over high heat until it reaches a crispy state. This should take about 10 minutes. Remove the cooked bacon from the pan and place it on some paper towels to drain excess grease.
4
In another large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Cook and stir sliced onions in the melted butter until they become soft and tender, taking about 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in the cooked bacon, chicken bouillon, water, minced garlic, dried oregano, fresh thyme, and savory into the onions; bring the mixture to a boil.
5
Stir in the cooked collard greens and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
6
Add milk to the mixture, stir well, and cook for another 5 minutes.
