Hey Y’all! Today, I’m getting back to my roots and sharing with you my Southern-Style Collard Greens recipe.

Listen… if you turn your nose up to collard greens, then you haven’t tasted true southern-style greens before.

Homemade greens are on another level!  In fact, I haven’t been to a restaurant that ever beat my greens in the flavor department…. just saying 😉

Taking my greens to the next ‘healthy’ level…

Not only do my collard greens taste good, but they’re healthy for you too!

Even though taste is very important to me, quality ingredients are even more important (for health, energy, and longevity).

It’s so important to choose high quality ingredients if you want to feel your best.

For instance, choosing uncured, pastured bacon over conventional bacon from factory-farmed cows makes a world of difference in your health.

Additionally, choosing organic greens instead of conventional greens is a good idea to avoid toxic pesticides.

I even like to take it a step further by using apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar.

Check out the video below to see how I make my collard greens…

And, don’t forget to make my Grain Free Cornbread to serve with your greens!

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 12 oz Bacon, cut into 1-2 inches pieces
• 1 Yellow Onion, chopped
• 1 tsp Garlic, minced
• 4 C. Chicken Broth
• 2-3 lbs Collard Greens, chopped (see video for details)
• 2-4 Tbsp Vinegar
• Sea Salt and Pepper, to taste

Instructions

 

• In a large pot, add the bacon pieces. Cook until the fat is released and the edges are slightly browned.
• Then, add in the chopped onion. Continue to cook until the onions are translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook another 1-2 minutes.
• Add the chicken broth. Bring to a boil for 2-3 minutes then reduce the heat to low-medium.
• Add in the chopped collard greens 2 handfuls at a time. Allow each handful to wilt a bit before adding another handful. Once you've added all of the collard greens, add a lid and let cook on low until it reaches your desired texture. Be sure to let it simmer at least an hour so it soaks up all the flavor from the bacon and onion. Optional: Add in 2-4 Tbsp of vinegar, sea salt, and pepper, to taste.
