Simple Awesome Collard Greens Recipes

Steps:

• Combine collard greens, bacon, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, and cayenne pepper in a stock pot. Pour enough water over the greens mixture to cover completely. Bring the water to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook at a simmer until the greens are tender, about 2 hours.

Steps:

• Wash and cut all of the collard greens into bite size pieces (about 2" x 2").
• Heat some coconut oil in a tall pot until it's hot but NOT smoking hot.
• Add the collard greens and stir. CAUTION: the collard greens will splatter in the oil when they are first put in, so be careful.
• Stir and continue to cook until the greens wilt down.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Cook until done and at the very end add a splash of balsamic vinegar. Be sure and stir as the balsamic vinegar can burn. You don't need much of the vinegar.
• Note: This is a good base recipe to experiment with. The greens are also good when cooked with ginger and tamari, or you can add a mix of balsamic vinegar, orange juice, and hot pepper at the end. I have done all of these and they all taste great. I think the coconut oil really does a lot for the greens.

Steps:

• Wash greens in a colander.
• Chop into bite-sized pieces.
• Throw all ingredients into a large pot and cover.
• Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, the reduce heat and simmer.
• Greens are done when they have shrunk down and are cooked through, usually about a half hour, but you can let it simmer much longer.
• Serve with its liquid.
