Quick-Braised Greens with Bacon and Sweet Onions
Yield: 4-6 servings
Cook Time: 27 minutes

Ingredients:
½ pounds collard greens, washed, trimmed, and roughly chopped
2 strips of lean bacon, sliced crosswise into ½ inch pieces
¾ cup minced sweet onions
1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil.
When water boils, add greens and cook until wilted and tender (5 minutes)
Drain and set aside.
Place bacon in a large frying pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and fat is rendered (3 minutes)
Add onion and cook until softened (4 minutes)
Add greens and turn to coat well.
Add broth - it should cover greens and let cook until broth is reduced and greens are very tender (15 minutes)
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste and serve.
