Answer 2

Never heard of it, but I found this recipe and it sounds good. I've never "drizzled" my greens though - will give it a try.

To cook greens, I brown the bacon in the same pot I use to cook them. Remove the bacon when crisp, saute chopped onions in the grease, add a little chopped garlic at the end. When soft, add the shredded greens and saute for a minute or two. Then add water to cover, the vinegar, crumbled bacon (a smoked ham hock is awesome), season to taste, cover and simmer until tender. Collards take longer, but this technique works with mustard greens as well.


"Bacon cider sauteed collard greens with honey mustard drizzle"

COLLARD GREENS
12 slices apple smoked bacon, chopped
2 bunches collard greens (center stems removed)
1 onion, thinly sliced
4 turns coarse grind black pepper
¼ cup apple cider vinegar

HONEY MUSTARD DRIZZLE
½ cup honey
½ cup coarse grain mustard
½ teaspoon Tabasco sauce
¼ lemon Juice

Boil 4 quarts water in a large pot. Chop 12 slices of bacon into bits; place bits in stainless steel skillet; slowly brown while rendering fat. When bacon is brown, remove bacon from skillet (saving the bacon fat); set aside.

Roll up bunches of collard greens cigar-style, and slice into ?206-140?-inch slices. Place sliced greens in boiling water. Return skillet with bacon fat to heat; add thinly-sliced onions; saute for 1 minute. Using tongs, remove greens from water and place in skillet.

Add black pepper and apple cider vinegar; cook for 5 minutes. Garnish with bacon bits.

Honey Mustard Drizzle: Whisk together all ingredients in bowl. Drizzle over greens.

Jeez-those recipes are awesome-I'm heading to Walmart now to get some fresh greens to make this for lunch. My kids love southern style greens. This will be a surprising change!
