Dinner,Side Dish 20 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 0.25 cup bacon drippings
  • 4 bunches collard greens, tough stems removed
  • salt to taste
  • 3 cups water, or more as needed

Instructions

  • Heat bacon drippings in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir greens in hot drippings until limp, tender, and significantly reduced in size, 1 to 4 minutes, depending on how tough the greens are. Season with salt and serve straight from the skillet.
  • If you prefer extra-tender greens, add 3 cups water to greens in the skillet; season with salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 hour, adding more water as needed.
