Liberian Collard Greens Recipe: A Delicious Twist on Southern Cooking

Ingredients

• 6 slices bacon
• 1 bunch collard greens, chopped
• 0.33 cup vegetable oil
• 3 cups water, plus more as needed
• 3 cubes chicken bouillon
• 0.33 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

Instructions

1. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, approximately 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble.
2. In a large pot, combine collard greens, vegetable oil, water, and chicken bouillon. Bring to a simmer over medium heat until the greens wilt, about 10 minutes. Stir in the crumbled bacon, peanut butter, liquid smoke, soul food seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cover and simmer for approximately 1 1/2 hours, or until the greens are very tender and the peanut butter begins to separate. Add water as needed to prevent the mixture from drying out.
3. Gently stir in the flounder fillets. Continue cooking and stirring frequently for another 30 minutes, or until the fish flakes apart.
