Ingredient: Pork


Kickin’ Collard Greens

Got bacon and collards? Why not try this Kickin’ Collard Greens recipe? Though it was good, I recommend leaving out the red pepper flakes until the end and let folks season to taste themselves. I love spicy food, but the red pepper flakes against the smoky bacon flavor of the collards was a bit overpowering for me. I’ll try this one again as the rest of the flavors made for fine comfort food! Remember to have chicken broth on hand for this one!


Roasted Cabbage Wedges with Bacon

This idea came from Fellow Springdellian Susan MacDowell a few seasons back. If things are drying out while roasting, I just drizzle a little chicken stock over things. This makes sweet and flavorful cabbage!


Farfalle with Leeks and Bacon

You’ll love the flexibility of this one. It’s great “on the fly” recipe, as bacon thaws quickly, and pasta cooks quickly. Choose your pasta. Top with grated Parmesan (I know I know, Parmesan isn’t local, but it’s a cheese worth traveling for!)
