A cabbage of a variety that does not develop a heart
kale that has smooth leaves
A variety of cabbage that doesn't form a head, but grows in a loose rosette at the top of a tall stem. Tastes like a cross between cabbage and kale, which is a close relative. Also called "collard greens."
Collard greens are various loose-leafed cultivars of Brassica oleracea (Acephala Group), the same species that produces cabbage and broccoli.

1/2 lb of bacon (reserve 2-3 tsp bacon grease)
1/2 onion
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
a few pinches of salt
a few pinches of sugar
Brown bacon, onion and garlic in a cast iron skillet. Once they have browned, remove bacon to paper towels to drain. Reserve 2-3 teaspoons of bacon grease.
Heat bacon grease and olive oil; add the collards, salt, and sugar. Put a tight fitting lid on the pot and let the collards wilt for about 10 minutes (or until tender). Add the bacon to the collards and serve.
Leftover Collard Greens (with Kimchi) Omelette
We had leftover cooked collard greens in the fridge, as well as an open jar of kimchi. Why not just chop them up. I added some chopped scallions and srirachca, because I just could.
