Ingredients

  • 8 ounces collard greens
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 bouillon cube (chicken) or what you prefer
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1-2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons bacon grease
  • 2 tablespoons distilled vinegar (or what you prefer
  • 2 tablespoons pickeled beet juice
  • optional slice up a few beets (roughly chopped) either can or jar but i like the jar pickeled beets better
  • optional 1/2 C. of any nuts for more texture/crunchiness.

Instructions

  1. Put the water in first and add all ingredients after that. Stir.
  2. Bring to a boil, reducing heat to medium-low and cover. (Actually just a little bit above simmering / around 1/3 way between low and medium heat but on the low side.)
  3. It should take between 25-30 min covered but a little bit longer if not covered. It could possible take up to 40-45 min. depending on quality of your stove and exactly the quantity. I would stir it maybe 3 times while cooking it and taste the texture. I like mine crunchy but you might like your more delicate and soft.
  4. Last but not least, taste the greens each time you stir. I might have to add salt, pepper, vinegar, sugar, or beet juice extra just to try and balance the flavors the way that i want them for that day. Everyone is different so Season to taste
