Ingredients  

  • 1 slice thick-cut bacon, diced
  • 1 bunch collard greens
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions 

  • Place the bacon in a sauté pan over medium-low heat and cook for 5 minutes to render as much fat as possible.
  • While the bacon is cooking, remove the stems from the collard greens, and thinly slice the leaves across.
  • Add the garlic to the pan and cook for 1 minute. Add the greens and salt, stir well to coat the greens with the bacon fat, reduce heat to low, and cook for 5 minutes, until wilted, stirring occasionally. If you like them softer, cook for 10 minutes.
