Ingredients

8 servings

•

½ pound bacon ends and pieces
•

1 large white onion, chopped
•

1 tablespoon minced garlic
•

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste

•

¼ teaspoon salt
•

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
•

4 cups water
•

2 bunches collard greens, coarsely chopped

Instructions

Place bacon in a heavy pot and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until fat begins to render, about 5 minutes. Drain off 1/2 of the bacon grease.
Reduce heat to medium and add onion. Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes. Add garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper; cook and stir for 2 minutes.
Increase heat to high and immediately pour in 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, stirring to scrape up browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add chopped collard greens and 1 more cup of water. Bring back to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until greens are tender, about 1 hour.
