Southern Style Collard Greens Recipe | Side Dish Recipes
By Elena Rostova
- 2 large bunches collards, roughly chopped and stems discarded
- 3 slices hickory smoked bacon
- 2-4 cups water
- 1 yellow onion, minced
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- hot sauce to taste
- black pepper to taste
Ingredients
- Fry the bacon in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until just done but not quite crispy yet. Add the onion and collards, and sauté in the hot grease until they wilt.
- Pour the water in the pot --- it should just cover the collards. Add the brown sugar, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, salt and a few dashes of hot sauce.
- Bring to a boil then cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 ½ - 4 hours.
- Season with additional salt, hot sauce and pepper to taste.
