Lunch: Stewed Collard Greens

A classic Southern dish with bacon and slow cooked greens.

Ingredients

8 strips bacon, (about 8 oz) cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium Vidalia onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 stick butter
2 cups water
2 lbs collards, rinsed and drained, stems removed, leaves cut into 1/2-inch strips
salt, to taste
hot sauce, to taste

Instructions

Cook the bacon in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and butter and cook until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes more. Add the water and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the collards and cook until very soft, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and hot sauce, to taste. Transfer the greens to a serving bowl and serve.
