Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. 1. Fry the bacon in a pot large enough to cook the greens.
  2. 2. Add the greens along with onions.
  3. 3. Cook on low heat, stirring with wooden spoon, until greens are coated with bacon fat (about 2 minutes).
  4. Pour off excess fat.
  5. 4. Cover the greens with water and season with salt and pepper.
  6. 5. Bring to boil. Cover the pot, reduce heat, and simmer until tender (time will vary, about 1 hour).
  7. Stir occasionally and add water if they threaten to scorch. When done, increase heat to med-high, stir often. Boil off nearly all the cooking liquid.
  8. 6. Add vinegar. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Serve very hot.
  9. Serves 4
  10. Tips:
  11. 1. I like to add 1 tablespoon (+) sugar when greens come to a boil. Some people do not like the sweetness, some do.
  12. 2. Serve with Cilantro Lime Hot Sauce that each person can add to their own taste.
  13. 3. Add 1 Tablespoon chopped garlic r to the boiling greens for added flavor
  14. 4. Combine mustard, collard and turnip greens in the same pot.
