I hope everyone had a great weekend!! I did, but I am happy for a fresh start to a new week. Today is my relax/do laundry/clean day! Maybe a trip to Sam's will happen too! lol Last night we had Sunday Dinner at my moms, I don't know if any of you have those, but I don't think they happen nearly enough at our house. I cooked fried chicken, smashed potatoes and MUSTARD GREENS!!! YUMMMM. I know they look awful, but its a different taste and VERY complimentary to comfort food. What better day for comfort food than Thanksgiving! I didn't get a chance to get a picture of the green before I cut them up, but sometimes they come in a GIANT bag already cut up. If you can only find them in a bunch that's okay too. Collard greens are good too and cook the exact same way, and they are a little sweeter. Okay...try it....enjoy!
Steamed Collard's
You will need:
1 Large bag of greens, (the bag will shrink to half after its cooked)
1 lbs bacon
I large yellow onion
1 tbsp white vinegar
1/4 vegetable broth or chicken broth
Directions:
If you bought your greens in a bunch, start by rinsing them VERY WELL. Your going to remove leaf from stalk and roll like a cigar. Cut into strips. I like to cut up a little bit of the stalk and steam it as well, but its optional.
Meanwhile, in a large pot or stock pot, cook bacon until all fat is rendered and back in cooked. Slice yellow onion into strips, and add to pot on top of bacon. Cook until soft, add broth. Add greens to pot, sprinkle with a little salt and vinegar. Cover and cook tossing occasionally. The greens will cook down. They are done when they are bright green and tender, NOT MUSHY. Test them, if you are happy with the texture pull them, if not cook a little longer. Enjoy!!
