Bitter Greens With Sour Cream Dressing Recipes

BITTER GREENS WITH SOUR-CREAM DRESSING

Steps:

• Cut eggs in two and put yolks in a bowl. Mash yolks with sugar and lemon juice, and beat in the sour cream with a wooden spoon, until smooth. Thin with milk if necessary. Season with salt and pepper. (This can all be done in a food processor or a mixer, but it is easy enough by hand.)
• Slice egg whites into thin strips, and toss with greens and dressing. Serve.

SWEET AND SOUR GREENS

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes, stirring often. Transfer bacon pieces into a bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving the drippings in the pan.
• Stir water, vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper into the bacon drippings until the sugar has dissolved; bring the mixture to a boil. Place collards into the boiling mixture, and stir to mix well. Cover the Dutch oven, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the greens are tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Drizzle in a little more water or vinegar if greens become too dry.
• Spoon greens into a serving dish, and sprinkle with the cooked bacon pieces.
