LIBERIAN STYLE COLLARD GREENS



Liberian Style Collard Greens image

This is a delicious twist on a soul food staple! They are never bitter. I got the recipe from a Liberian restaurant. You may think the ingredients are strange, but they come together perfectly. You may want to adjust the amounts to your taste. When cooking something like greens, eyeballing is the best measurement. The longer you cook these, the more the flavors mesh and the better they taste.

Time 2h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 slices bacon
1 bunch collard greens, chopped
⅓ cup vegetable oil
3 cups water, plus more as needed
3 cubes chicken bouillon
⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
1 pinch soul food seasoning, or to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
2 (6 ounce) fillets flounder

Steps:

  • Place the bacon in a large deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate and crumble.
  • Heat collard greens, vegetable oil, water, and chicken bouillon in a large pot over medium heat. Simmer until greens are wilted, about 10 minutes. Stir bacon, peanut butter, liquid smoke, soul food seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper into pot; cover and simmer until greens are very tender and peanut butter begins to separate, about 1 1/2 hours. Add more water if the mixture becomes too dry.
  • Stir flounder fillets into greens. Continue to cook until fish breaks down, about 30 minutes more, stirring frequently.
