Chef Scott’s Kickin’ Mixed Greens

Directions

Ingredients :

¼ cup olive oil

8 slices bacon

cut into 1/2-inch pieces

1 large onion

cut into 1/2-inch pieces

6 cloves garlic

minced

1 pound fresh collard greens

cut into 2-inch pieces

½ pound turnip greens

cut into 2-inch pieces

½ pound mustard greens

cut into 2-inch pieces

5 cups chicken broth

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons ground black pepper

2 pinches red pepper flakes

Methods :

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir bacon in hot oil until crisp, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove bacon from pot, crumble, and return to the pot. Add onion to the bacon; cook and stir until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir garlic into the bacon mixture; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add collard greens, turnip greens, and mustard greens; cook and stir until the greens start to wilt, 2 to 3 minutes.

Pour chicken broth into the pot; season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to low, cover pot with a lid, and cook at a simmer until the greens are tender, about 45 minutes.
