Farm Fresh Collard Greens with Crunchy Bacon Bits

Collard Greens with Crunchy Bacon Bits

Passing by a farmers market, I could not resist these collard greens. So fresh and tasty.
I knew we were having pork chops for dinner so this was a nice modern twist on a Southern dinner.

INGREDIENTS:
1 bunch of collard greens washed, spun dried, thick stems removed

3-4 pieces of bacon ( I used Oscar Meyer Thick Bacon)

1/3 cup of broth

1 tablespoon of oil (I used grape)

Cook bacon to package directions. Set  on paper towel to absorb oil. Cut up bacon into small bits. I use kitchen shears to do tihis.

Heat a large skillet with oil. Add collard greens. Cook down about a minute, flip over. Add stock and cover. Cook for 3-5 minutes on medium flame mixing about ½ way through.

Add salt to taste and bacon bits. I served this with Brown Sugar Glazed Pork Chops. Recipe here: Brown Sugar and Garlic Glazed Pork Chops

Enjoy!
