Description
These braised collard greens are American comfort food at its best. Salty, porky, sweet and spicy. Even the kids will be going back for seconds.
Ingredients
Scale
1 standard bunch collard greens (about .75 lbs on the stem), stem removed, and torn into 1-2 inch pieces
1/3 cup bacon, diced
1/2 onion, diced
1/2 Tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 pinch red pepper flakes (or more if you like it spicy)
1–1 1/2 Tablespoons Honey
1 1/2 cups water or broth
Instructions
Melt the butter in the braising pot, sauté the bacon until it renders out most of its fat. Add the onion and sauté until transparent. Add the remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer over very low heat for 45 minutes or longer.
Remove from the heat and serve with the braising liquid.
