enoriver — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 13:05:51 +0000

If you buy tender young greens, you can reduce the cooking time to about 20 minutes.

Ingredients

1/4 pound bacon, sliced or cubed
1 cups onions, sliced
3 cloves garlic, mashed
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 bottle of beer
1 tbsp distilled white vinegar
1 tablespoon molasses, honey or sorghum
2 pounds fresh greens, such as mustard greens, collard greens, turnip greens, or kale, rinsed well, picked over and tough stems removed

Directions

Cook the bacon until it has rendered most of its fat, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add the onions, garlic, salt, cayenne, and black pepper and cook until the onions are wilted, about 4 minutes. Add the beer, vinegar, and molasses and bring to a boil. Begin adding the greens in batches, pressing down with a wooden spoon to submerge them in the hot liquid and adding more as they wilt. When all of the greens have been added, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the greens, partially covered and stirring occasionally, for about 40 minutes or until tender.
