Collard Greens Recipe
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 bn collard greens
- 2 c. Chicken soup stock (see recipe) or possibly canned chicken broth Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 dsh Tabasco
- 2 Tbsp. Bacon drippings
Directions
- In earlier times in our culture, slaves were allowed to grow a few crops for themselves, but they obviously were not crops which the "house" would want to claim. Collard greens are a mite bitter if you do not know what to do with them, so collard greens became a part of the soul diet in the South.
- This recipe is simple and just delicious. Do not talk to me about cooking greens too long. In this case it is part of the tradition.
- Wash the greens very well. Shake dry and place in a kettle. Add in the chicken broth and bring to a full boil. Lower the heat and keep the pot at a heavy simmer till the greens are tender and to your liking. Add in the seasonings and bacon fat.
