Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds collard greens, (rinsed)
5 slices think bacon, (diced)
1 large onion, (diced)
3/4 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon tabasco sauce or other hot sauce
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Use a knife to cut on either side of the large rib running up each collard green leaf. Remove it and discard it. You don't need to go all the way up the leaf, just remove the thickest part. For smaller leaves, just remove the stem. Stack about 4 to 5 leaves, roll them up, and cut into 1/2-inch strips. Repeat with remaining leaves.
  • Cook bacon in a large pot over medium heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate.
  • Add onion to bacon fat and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  • Add broth, vinegar, sugar, red pepper flakes, and tabasco sauce to pot. Stir to combine.
  • Add collard greens and use tongs to turn and mix them until they reduce in size some. Cover, turn heat to low and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  • Before serving, sprinkle bacon on top and season to taste with salt and pepper.

SPICY STIR-FRIED COLLARD GREENS WITH RED OR GREEN CABBAGE



Spicy Stir-Fried Collard Greens With Red or Green Cabbage image

Collard greens don't have the cachet of popular greens like black kale and rainbow chard. This is probably because collards have a stronger flavor and tougher leaf than many other greens. They do stand up to longer cooking, but they don't require it. In this stir-fry, they stood in for more traditional greens like Chinese broccoli or bok choy and cooked up crunchy. As a bonus, collards are a great source of calcium. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, a cup of cooked collard greens has more calcium than a glass of skim milk.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons Shao Hsing rice wine or dry sherry
2 tablespoons chicken broth, vegetable broth or water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons peanut oil, rice bran oil or canola oil
2 teaspoons minced ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground toasted Sichuan pepper or red pepper flakes
2 cups shredded red or green cabbage
1 pound collard greens, stemmed and roughly chopped
salt to taste

Steps:

  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the rice wine or sherry, the broth or water and the soy sauce. Have all the ingredients within arm's reach from your pan.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the garlic, ginger and pepper and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds.
  • Swirl in the remaining oil and add the cabbage and collard greens. Turn the heat to high and stir-fry for 1 minute, or until the greens begin to wilt. Add the salt, toss together and add the soy sauce mixture. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, until the collard greens and cabbage are crisp-tender. Remove from the heat and serve.
