Kitchen Safety Tips:

Always use a pot holder!

Let anyone in your home know you will be using the stove.

Step 1: Prep Greens

Soak your collard greens in cold water for about an hour.

Scrub them clean.

Remove the leaves from the stems. We will only need the leaves, and not the stems.

Step 2: Prep

Prep your cutting station by laying a damp cloth down and placing your cutting board on top.

Rough chop collard greens, dice onion, mince garlic, chop bacon.

Make sure you do the bacon last to avoid cross contamination!

Step 3: Sauté

Heat oil in frying pan over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook about halfway through. Add diced onion and minced garlic, continue to sauté until onion is tender and everything is fragrant.

Step 4: Season

Add salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

Add in broth and greens. Stir to combine. Put lid on the pan.

They may not all fit in the pan at once, wait until they wilt which will free up some space in your pan.

Step 5: Cook

Continue to add greens and cook them until all have wilted, become tender, and turn a dark green.

Step 6: Enjoy!

Serve with your favorite meal and Enjoy!
