STEWED COLLARD GREENS AND WHITE BEANS



Stewed Collard Greens and White Beans image

Cannellini beans are full of fiber and protein. Collards, rich in vitamins A and K and calcium, are in the cancer-fighting cruciferous family. Parmesan rind -- don't toss it! -- lends an incredibly rich flavor. (No bacon required.) Use leftovers to make a Collard Greens and White Beans Quesadilla.

Some traditional Southern cooks swear you have to cook your collards all day long. This recipe has a great silky, tender texture and good bacony flavor, but you don't have to quit your day job to make it. Collards also pair well with Double Orange Pork Chops (page 24) and Down-Home Pinto Beans and Ham Hocks (page 127).

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 strips bacon (about 8 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium Vidalia onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 pounds collards, rinsed and drained, stems removed, leaves cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
Tabasco or other hot sauce to taste

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a large saucepan over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, or until crisp. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes more, or until the onion is tender.
  • Add 2 cups of water and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the collards and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until very soft. Season with the salt and Tabasco and serve.
