The RIGHT WAY To Cook Greens

Ingredients

¼ cup bacon drippings

4 bunches collard greens

tough stems removed

salt to taste

3 cups water

Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

Heat bacon drippings in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the greens. Stir-fry I suppose since you are stirring and frying for 1 to 4 minutes (depends on how tough the greens are) or until greens are limp tender and have greatly reduced in size. Pork fat is good because it helps cover the bitterness of greens while bringing out their great flavor.

Step 2

At this point you have a choice. Either serve them straight from the pan with a sprinkling of salt or add 3 to 4 cups of water and salt to taste and boil the greens 1 hour for extra tender probably-won't-even-have-to-chew greens. If you don't have teeth clearly you see which way to go here.
