Wilted Collards Greens With Bacon And Onion

• 1 lb collard greens
• 6 slices bacon, chopped
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup chicken stock
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 teaspoons black pepper (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt (optional)
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar (optional)

1. Turn an eye on the stove to medium heat.
2. In a large saute pan or stock pot, cook the chopped bacon for a few minutes until some grease is rendered, then, toss in the onion. Cook this until onion becomes tender. DO NOT DRAIN!
3. Next, throw the collard greens into the bacon and onion and carefully stir a little (it will seem like there are too many collard greens, but they cook down very quickly).
4. Pour in the chicken stock and the water.
5. Add the optional seasonings (pepper, seasoning salt and vinegar).
6. Cover the pan and cook on medium to medium high. You will see the collards begin to wilt rather quickly.
7. Continue cooking until all of the liquid is gone, stirring occasionally. (This normally takes me about 20 minutes.).
8. Try the collards and if they are not as tender as you would like, simply add 1/4 cup of water at a time until they reach the desired tenderness.
