Kimchi Creamed Collard Greens Recipes

KIMCHI CREAMED COLLARD GREENS

Steps:

• Place a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the onion and sauté until it has some color. Add the bacon and cook for 10 minutes, or until fully rendered.
• Add the collards and sauté until a bit limp, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the vinegar and cook down until almost dry. Add the sorghum, stock, 2 cups of water, and kosher salt to taste. Simmer, covered, for about 45 minutes, until the collards are tender.
• While the collards are cooking, get the kimchi cream ready to roll: In a small saucepan, cook the cream over medium heat, watching it closely, until it has reduced by one-third, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chopped kimchi.
• When the collards are tender, stir the kimchi cream into the greens and cook to marry the flavors, about 10 minutes. Serve.
