Reason #1735 why we love our Roasted Chopped Garlics: In this recipe, it adds slow cooked flavor to these greens without hours of cooking!

What you need

1 pound collard greens (about 2 bunches) 
4 strips bacon, sliced 
1 teaspoon Tessemae’s Slow Roasted Garlic
2 teaspoons Tessemae’s Hot Sauce 

What to do

Cut out the stems from the greens, then roll up the leaves and slice crosswise, about ½ inch thick.  Wash the greens in a bowl of water or salad spinner.

Cook the bacon in a large skillet until browned and spoon the bacon onto paper towel to drain. Leave the fat in the pan. 

Add the greens, Roasted Chopped Garlic and about ¼ cup water to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and cover. Cook, tossing occasionally, until greens are tender. 10- 12 minutes. (If needed, add more water to the pan.) Stir in Hot Sauce and sprinkle with the bacon.
