Basic Collard Greens

Collard greens are super good for you and always cheap at the store.

Ingredients:

1 bunch collard greens
4-5 slices bacon
1 clove garlic
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Remove the ribs from the greens and soak them in a bowl of water to remove all dirt and grit.
2. Cut the bacon up into bite size pieces and cook in a large skillet.
3.  Once the bacon is crispy add the collard greens.  They do not need to be completely dry, the little bit of water still on them helps to cook them.
4.  Cover and cook for around 10 minutes until the greens and soft and the water has cooked off.
