Ingredients

  • 12 pounds mixed greens, such as Swiss chard, collards and turnip or beet greens, large stems discarded
  • 1/2 cup rendered duck or bacon fat or 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 4 large onions, coarsely chopped
  • 10 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 dried chipotle chiles or 2 canned chipotles in adobo
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 5 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • Tabasco sauce

Method

  • Wash the greens thoroughly in cold water and coarsely chop the leaves; do not dry them.
  • Heat the duck fat in a large, heavy stockpot.
  • Add the chopped onions and cook over moderately high heat, stirring often, until softened, about 7 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the greens by the handful, adding more as the previous batch starts to wilt.
  • Add the chipotles and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Cover and cook over low heat, stirring often, until the greens are very tender, about 1 hour.
  • Discard the chipotles if using dried.
  • Stir in the vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the greens to a bowl and pass the Tabasco at the table.
