COLLARD GREENS WITH BACON



Collard Greens with Bacon image

Good ole country collard greens with bacon and onion. These are so hearty and satisfying, even those who say "I don't like greens" will eat these up! You might even get a "Wow!" after the first bite and a "not at all like I remember them tasting". You can eat them alone but they're best with hot buttered cornbread. Mustard and turnip greens are great this way too. Enjoy!

CREAMY COLLARD GREENS AND BACON



Creamy Collard Greens and Bacon image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups water
4 ounces smoky bacon, sliced crosswise into 1/4-inch strips
8 pounds collard greens, stems and tough inner ribs discarded
2 large onions, chopped
3/4 cup coarse dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon minced parsley leaves
1 teaspoon minced sage leaves
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Butter, for greasing dish
2 cups heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • In a large stockpot, add the water and bacon and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the collard greens by handfuls, stirring until each batch is wilted before adding more. Bring to a boil and add the onions. Cover and simmer over moderate heat until the collards are very tender, about 40 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool, then squeeze the water out of the collards until almost dry. Place collards on a cutting board and coarsely chop.
  • Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the dry bread crumbs with the Parmesan, minced parsley, sage, garlic and extra-virgin olive oil. Pulse until just blended.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Generously butter a shallow 4-quart casserole. In a large bowl, mix the collards with the cream and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the eggs until blended and spread the collards into the prepared casserole. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the Parmesan crumbs over the collards. Return to the oven and bake for about 20 minutes longer, or until the crumb topping is golden. Preheat the broiler and broil the collards 10 inches from the heat until the bread crumb topping is golden brown and crisp. Serve hot. Tastes great with fried chicken.

COLLARD GREENS WITH BACON



Collard Greens With Bacon image

I've never made collard greens before, but found this recipe online and gave it a try. My whole family loved them. They were great! UPDATE: I just made them without bacon since I didn't have any and just added a smoky hot sauce and they were still good. Some sort of fat just makes them extra good though.

Provided by KristiJoy

Categories     Collard Greens

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 slices thick-sliced bacon, sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
1 small yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 -2 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3 dashes hot sauce
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 lbs collard greens, stems removed, sliced into 3-inch-wide strips (can substitute kale or chard)
1 cup chicken broth

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Cook the bacon in the skillet until it just begins to brown around the edges, stirring occasionally. Don't overcook the bacon. It should be barely brown around the edges and still somewhat raw-looking in the middle.
  • Add the garlic, salt, pepper, syrup and hot sauce. Cook until the garlic becomes fragrant, about a minute. Add the vinegar, bring to a simmer, and cook until the amount of liquid is reduced by half, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • Add the collard greens and the chicken broth (or water) and bring to a simmer. Reduce the temp to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the collard greens have wilted and have lost their brightness. Season to taste with additional vinegar and hot sauce. Serve with some of the pan juices from the pan.
