How to cook collard greens

We went to a friend's house for gumbo last week and she prepared a big pot of tasty collard greens with
slab bacon.  I've made them at home in my handy dandy dutch oven.  I start by washing the greens well
and cutting out the center stalk.  Then, I saute chopped onion, a tiny amount of dried crushed chili, and
the greens in a bit of oil.  I add stock, cover it and cook for a half an hour at least.  It is a bit healthier
version and still soul satisfying.  Greens grow so well in the Pacific Northwest; I say enjoy them year
round!
