Preparation
Step 1
In a large saucepan, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and butter, and cook until crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and butter, and cook until the onion tender, about 5 minutes longer.
Add 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the collard greens and cook, uncovered, until very soft, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and hot sauce to taste. Place the greens in a pretty serving bowl along with the pot liquor and set out on the table.
Serves 4-6 servings.
