Ingredients
8 slices bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 large bunch of fresh collards or other dark winter greens, thoroughly washed & cut into 1-inch strips (you will want to remove any tough stems)
1/2 large onion (sweet onion if available)
3 to 5 cloves fresh garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
Vinegar-based hot sauce, to taste (Texas Pete Hot Sauce or a cayenne hot sauce works well)
Salt & pepper to taste
In a large skillet (preferably cast iron), cook the bacon over medium heat until done. Add the onion & garlic, stir & cook until onion is soft and translucent. Add the collards or other greens, stir to coat the greens with the bacon fat. Cook, stirring from time to time, until the greens have wilted and are cooked down. Add the vinegar and a few splashes of hot sauce and stir to deglaze the skillet. Season with salt & pepper to taste, and serve hot.
Zestfully yours,
Gloria
