1 onion

8 pieces crumbled bacon (or ham hock or salt pork)
3 cups chicken stock or broth
pinch pepper

1 tsp salt

Instructions

In a large pot on your stove top, put some oil in the bottom of the pot and cook the onions until they soften, around 5 minutes.
Add garlic and cook until you can smell it (about a minute or less).
Add crumbled bacon or ham hock to the pot.
Put in a pound of greens and, using tongs, get all the greens coated with the onion, garlic, and oil mixture.
