Ingredients
- 3 ounces (3 slices) bacon
- 1 small yellow onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 ounces smoked ham
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 pounds collard greens
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Directions
- Cook the bacon in a large pot over medium-high heat just until it renders its fat; it shouldn’t become crispy.
- Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and ham and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Add the collard greens and salt and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the greens are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, 25 to 30 minutes.
