Edible Collard Greens

Edible Collard Greens

No matter what I entitle this post, many out there will think I have written a contradiction in terms, stating that, "There is No such thing as 'Edible Collard Greens!".
Well I beg to differ and offer up this recipe that I cooked today as proof.

The Ingredients you'll need are as follows:

12 Slices of Hickory smoked bacon (finely chopped)
2 medium sweet onions  (finely chopped)
6 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
3/4 lb of Smoked ham (chopped)
3 - 32 oz Organic Chicken broth containers
2.5 lbs of washed organic collard greens
1/3 cup of Apple cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon of organic brown sugar
1 teaspoon of Kosher salt
1 teaspoon of pepper
1 teaspoon of cayenne
1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning

How do we make this fine thing?

Take a 10 quart pot and cook the bacon of medium heat until almost crispy.
Add the onion and saute for 8 minutes.
Add the garlic and ham and saute for 2 minutes.
Stir in the broth and the remaining ingredients.

Cook for 2 hours over medium heat. stir every 20 minutes.
When they are done, they are spicy and fantastic.
Enjoy!
