Brazilian Style Collard Greens
Brazilian Style Collard Greens
When you think of collard greens, you think of how they are prepared down south: stewed with ham hocks or smoked turkey, cut with a little bit of vinegar. If you go further south, like South America, you will find that collard greens are sautéed with a ton of garlic. The Brazilian way is to cook them with diced bacon. This way of preparation only takes 10 minutes opposed to multiple hours of stewing. Collard greens pair great with any meat, especially feijoada.
