THE CREAMY BASE
BACON GREASE – I get it not everyone loves to cook with it. My mom loves this dish but back in the day when I started making this, she was not pleased with the grease… but she got over it. You can make this without the bacon grease – but why would you?!?!!?!
Let the cream simmer for a bit before you add your choice of greens.
Once you start adding your greens if you find that there is not enough cream base… IT IS OKAY… you can fix this! Just add more cream… and then a bit more of all the other ingredients and let is simmer a bit longer.
This recipe is best with collard greens… here is the recipe for the best greens.
It is also a great base for…
- Chicken
- Stroganoff with skirt steak and mushrooms
- Be creative
Bacon Grease – about a .24 of a cup and butter in the pan with…
Nutmeg, Black Pepper, Garlic, Shallots and Bacon…
Let is simmer for a bit until the onions, garlic and bacon and soft.
Add the heavy cream… reduce heat, simmer and stir.
Taste – add black pepper and salt as needed.
The cream should cook about half way down.
