Southern Style Collard Greens Recipe | Side Dish Recipes

Celeb Gist

    Ingredients

  • 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

Directions

  • 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.
