Braised collard greens

Ingredients

1 cup diced thick-sliced bacon
4 cups sliced yellow onions
2 tbsp. minced garlic
3 bunches collard greens, cleaned and stemmed (or substitute Swiss chard)
1 cup chicken stock
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Heat a 6-quart pot, preferably cast iron, on medium heat and add bacon; cook until bacon has started to crisp. Lower heat, add onions and cook slowly for 10 to 15 minutes or until onions are soft. Add garlic and cook for 5 minutes. Add collard greens and a quarter of the chicken stock. Cover and let simmer, checking every 5 to 10 minutes and adding stock if needed. Let simmer for 30 to 45 minutes or until greens are very soft. Season with salt and pepper.
