Bacon-Braised Collard Greens

1. 1

   In a heavy pot over medium-high heat, cook the bacon, turning now and then, until the fat starts to render, about 5 minutes. Drain and discard 1/2 of the bacon drippings.

2. 2

   Lower the heat to medium and add the onion. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper, and cook while stirring for 2 minutes.

3. 3

   Turn the heat up to high. Pour 3 cups water into the pot and bring it to a boil, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Add the collard greens and the remaining 1 cup water; return to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the greens are tender, about 1 hour.
