It's not just food; it's a memory in the making. Let’s get cooking and stir up some comfort!
Steps to follow
1
Rinse the collard greens thoroughly. Remove the stems and roughly chop the leaves.
2
In a large pot, cook the bacon in olive oil over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the fat in the pot.
3
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4
Return the chopped collard greens to the pot. Add salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes or until the greens are tender.
5
Chop the cooked bacon into small pieces. Add the bacon and apple cider vinegar to the pot. Stir and continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
