Give it a go. I think you’ll fall in love with the way the greens taste, just the way I did.
Let’s talk about how to make collard greens, shall we?
Southern Collard Greens Ingredients
Collard Greens. Yes, you need fresh collard greens to make collard greens! You can usually find them in the grocery store produce section.
Bacon. I love smoked bacon for my collard greens.
Smoked Ham. Extra flavor and meatiness. Ham hocks are wonderful here, too. I love collard greens with ham hocks.
Vegetables. Onion, jalapeno peppers (or use milder peppers, or hotter!), garlic. Peppers are not traditional when making southern collards, but I just love them, as you may have already discovered.
Chicken Stock. Chicken broth is great, or use vegetable stock.
Liquids. Apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, honey for a touch of sweet, hot sauce.
Seasonings. Red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. You can use others to your preference.
