This one was shared by fellow Springdellian Dawn DeMeo a great one to use up the last of the seasonal corn, peppers, jalapeños and onion. The source is Cooks Illustrated, a fabulous local test kitchen. It’s a wonderful recipe as it’s very flexible in its ingredients, and easy to make your own. Check them out and try this one today!
Got a pressure cooker or an instant pot? Like bacon? Not sure about collards? This one is for you! If you have garlic scapes, it’s an absolutely wonderful addition, but you can skip it too. This recipe is a great way to use those collards during a quick weeknight meal without a huge investment of time.
I concede that slow cooking collard greens next to a piece of meat for hours is an amazingly delicious way to enjoy them, and totally worth the time involved. A side product is a soup base for other recipes, so it’s like preparing two meals in one! Kale, Chard, or Mustard greens (or any combo therein) can easily stand in for the collards.
