- Put the bacon in a large pot. Add in 3 qts of cool water and bring it to a simmer over moderately high heat. Reduce the heat and continue simmering till the liquid is reduced to about 5 c.. This will take about 1 1/2 hrs, depending on the size and shape of your pot Meanwhile wash the greens well and let them drain (no need to dry them). Remove and throw away the stems. Stack the leaves and slice them crosswise at 1-inch intervals.
- When the stock is ready, add in the garlic then add in the greens a few at a time poking them down into the liquid with a wooden spoon till they wilt. When all the greens have been added, cook them at a simmer till tender, about 30 to 40 min. Stir occasionally to keep the greens below the surface of the liquid. Let them cold in the liquid.
- To serve, reheat the greens in their liquid; season if necessary with salt and black pepper. Serve in hot bowls, with a smidgen of the bacon and some of the braising liquid (pot liquor). Offer warm pepper vinegar on the side.
- Author's note: These irresistible greens are absolutely better the second day. They seem to absorb more of the smoky bacon flavor, and the braising liquid ("pot likker") tastes better, too. In contrast to what you're served in some restaurants, greens prepared this way are neither salty nor greasy.
- You can almost taste the nutrition in them. Do not throw away the pot liquor. Use it in vegetable soup or possibly enjoy a c. of it for lunch the next day.
