Ingredients
Instructions
Wash the collard greens, then trim the thick stems from them and coarsely chop the leaves.
In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, saute the bacon for three minutes. Add the chopped onion and continue cooking until the onion is tender and the bacon is crisp, eight to nine minutes. Add the chopped collard greens to the pot and cook until they just begin to wilt.
Stir in the chicken broth, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic powder, salt and crushed red pepper flakes, and bring everything to a boil. Then reduce the heat, cover the pot and let it simmer until the collard greens are tender, 45 to 50 minutes.
