This Southern-style Braised Collard Greens recipe is the perfect side dish for any backyard barbecue or weeknight dinner. It needs plenty of time to cook low and slow for the ingredients to become tender and the flavors to come together. But trust us, it's worth the wait. Serve with some smoked cornbread to sop up any leftover broth!
