SOUTHERN-STYLE COOKED COLLARD GREENS

SERVES 6-8

This recipe can be made with fresh or frozen collard greens. If using fresh, use at least 4 bunches; discard the stems, clean the leaves thoroughly and cut into small pieces before cooking. Fresh collards cooked in the southern tradition must be simmered a very long time, so allow at least 1-1/2 hours. For a vegetarian version, substitute butter or canola oil for the bacon grease.

INGREDIENTS

2 (16-ounce) packages frozen collard greens

Salt and pepper to taste

Dash of hot sauce (optional)

1 tablespoon bacon grease

Cook greens according to package directions until very tender. Drain excess water. Add seasonings and bacon grease. Cook until the grease is well heated.
