Bacon couldn’t hurt either.
Beer Braised Greens
1 medium-large onion
3 cloves garlic
1 bottle beer
1-2 cups stock or water
2 bunches greens, washed and chopped
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt to taste
Heat a pan over medium heat. Chop up the onion and saute for five minutes or until softened. Mince the garlic and add to the pan, cooking for 30 seconds-1 minute.
Add the remaining ingredients to the pan, cover with a lid and allow to come to a boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer until the greens are cooked through to your liking. This could be as little as a half hour or up to two hours. Enjoy your beer drenched greens!
