Cuisine at Home: Holiday Menus



List of Ingredients



• 1 piece fat back or salt pork (5 ounces)
  
• 2 cups chopped onions
  
• 20 cups collard greens, trimmed, chopped (about 4 bunches)
  
• 2 cups chicken broth
  
• 2 cups water
  
• ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  
• 1/3 cup sugar
  
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  
• Salt and pepper
  






Instructions



1. Sauté pork in a large pot over medium heat until it starts to brown and the fat begins to melt, about 5 minutes. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 8 minutes.
   
   
2. Stir in collards, tossing with tongs until wilted. Add broth, water, vinegar, sugar, and pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until greens are tender but not mushy, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove pork before serving; season greens with salt and pepper.
