📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, bring 2 quarts water and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt to a boil. Add collard greens and cook until tender, about ⏱️ 10 minutes. Drain collards in a mesh strainer and rinse until cool enough to handle. Add collards to a clean, dry kitchen towel and twist to squeeze excess water from the greens.
2
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp, about ⏱️ 8 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels and reserve bacon fat in pan (there should be about 2 tablespoons. If there is not enough fat, add vegetable oil to reach 2 tablespoons).
3
Return pan to medium heat, add onion, and cook until softened, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes until fragrant, about ⏱️ 30 seconds.
4
Add greens to skillet, stirring to coat with bacon fat. Add broth, stir, and cover. Cook until greens are heated through, about ⏱️ 2 minutes. Remove cover and allow to simmer until liquid has thickened, about ⏱️ 3 minutes more.
5
Remove skillet from heat, top with vinegar and bacon. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
