Ingredients

Directions

Step 1: Cook the chopped bacon in a heavy pot over medium heat until the fat renders and the pieces crisp.

Step 2: Add the diced onion and cook 5 minutes until softened, then stir in the garlic.

Step 3: Add the collard greens a handful at a time, letting each addition wilt before adding more.

Step 4: Pour in the broth and add the red pepper flakes.

Step 5: Cover and simmer gently for 45 to 50 minutes until the greens are completely tender.

Step 6: Stir in the cider vinegar, season to taste, and serve with some of the pot liquor.

Chef's Tip: Add a splash of vinegar at the very end to cut through the richness and brighten the whole pot.

Save by using a package of greens and a few slices of bacon go a very long way and Serve with cornbread for mopping up the pot liquor.
