Spicy Brazilian Collard Greens
Ingredients
  • 1/2 pound peppered bacon, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 pounds collard greens - rinsed, stemmed and torn into 3x6 inch pieces
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Instructions
1
Begin by placing the bacon in a substantial, thick-walled cooking vessel over high heat. Allow it to cook until it reaches a rich brown color and most of the fat has been extracted, stirring occasionally.
2
Next, add the onion to the pot and continue cooking until it becomes soft and shiny, approximately 4 minutes.
3
Subsequently, introduce the collards into the pot and mix them with the remaining bacon fat. Then, pour in the chicken stock to cover the ingredients. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for flavor.
4
Reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook the mixture for 1 hour and 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5
After this period of cooking, stir in some red wine vinegar into the pot. Continue to cook for an additional 15 minutes, until roughly half of the liquid has evaporated.
