Anyone want to share grandma's secrets with me?
Answers:
2 pounds collard greens
6 to 8 thick slices partially cooked bacon or hog jowl
4 to 6 cups water
1/2 to 1 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons salt
crushed red pepper
dash seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
Wash collard greens in about 3 changes of water, until no sediment can be felt in bottom of sink or bowl. Cut out thicken stalks and any thick veins. Roll leaves and cut in 1/2-inch strips (chiffonade style) or chop coarsely Cook diced bacon or jowl to render some of the fat; discard fat or save for another use.
Bring water to a boil.
Add the chopped onion, cooked bacon or hog jowl, salt, peppers, and other seasonings, if used. Add greens to boiling water. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for about 1 hour, or until greens are tender.
