Revisiting My Collard Greens recipe, this time, with an actual recipe!via Soul Food Fusion Feast: Collard Greens, White Truffle Sriracha Macaroni and Cheese, and the Works!Since I am making my greens for Thanksgiving tomorrow, I decided to include an actual written recipe with the repost:
Collard Greens w Hog Jowl Bacon
2 pkgs (the big ones) of shredded collard greens from the produce aisle (walmart carries them)
1 chopped onion
1 tsp red pepper flakes
4 tsp chicken bouillon
garlic powder (lots, to taste)
black pepper
1/4 cup of sugar
1/4-1/2 cup white vinegar
one BIG HUNK of Jowl bacon, chopped in bigger chunks
Fill a huge stock pot with the greens and everything. Cover with water just to line of greens. If it seems too much for pot, it will reduce- don’t worry.
Put pot on high and bring to boil- keep tasting the broth throughout the cooking process and adjust the garlic powder/ vinegar/sugar ratio. Turn down to simmer and cover til greens are tender and bacon is fork tender and melty- about 3-5 hours-
