Pastured Jowl Bacon Braised Greens

Ingredients

  • 6 oz Queen City Farm pastured jowl bacon, diced
  • 2 bunches collard greens, chopped
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. 1

    Render the jowl bacon in a large pot until crisp, then add the onion and garlic and soften.

  2. 2

    Add the greens in batches, stirring until wilted.

  3. 3

    Pour in the stock and red pepper flakes, cover, and simmer 45 minutes until tender.

  4. 4

    Finish with the cider vinegar and season to taste.

Notes

Farm tip: The rendered jowl fat seasons the whole pot — and a splash of vinegar at the end brightens it.

Serving suggestion: Serve with cornbread to soak up the pot likker.
