Anyone have a good recipe for "greens?"

[Geor!]

I like the taste, just dislike having to chew a bite for two minutes.

You can't go wrong with bacon and butter. I've never had anyone taste my greens that didn't have a compliment for them.

Ingredients
8 strips bacon (about 8 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 stick butter
2 cups chicken broth
¼ cup vinegar
2 pounds collards, rinsed and drained, stems removed, leaves cut into 1/2-inch strips
Salt
Red pepper flakes
Pepper sauce (Trappey’s Peppers in Vinegar recommended)

Directions
Cook the bacon in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and butter and cook until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes more. Add red pepper flakes to taste if desired and then add the broth and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the vinegar and collards and cook until very soft. Season with salt to taste. Transfer the greens to a serving bowl and serve with a bottle of pepper sauce on the side.

I will be using yours as it is very similar to what I expected to do. I was told by a friend of a friend whom cooks them every Sunday to add sugar to take out the bitterness...true or false?

Depends on if we're having sex before/after or not.

I never cook with it, but kale juices well. Tastes great with some apple, OJ and cucumber.

The vinegar in my recipe seems to take out the bitterness. Never tried sugar but I've never thought that mine tasted bitter.

So what was the verdict on the greens?

[Geor!]

I dunno but I was able to cook my kale buy blanching it in water for a couple of minutes then braising it in a bit of chicken stock for about 10. Turned out great.

After Central Market, Albertsons and Wal-Mart were completely out I gave up. Not to mention every.single.person who was going to be here bickered they wouldn't even take a small bite of them. However, everyone was so drunk at midnight over half of them didn't remember eating black-eyed peas so I probably could of gotten away with it had anyone had them in stock!
