What goes well with collard greens?

[MidnightWanderer88]

Heyy!!, I've been pondering about the perfect pairings for collard greens. Wondering what you all think matches
well with these leafy veggies. I've tossed them with some smoked turkey before. I also tried squeezing a bit of lemon over the top for that zesty kick. It's such a treat. But, I'm curious to know what you've dished up alongside your greens. Maybe a side of cornbread or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for heat? What's your pairing idea for collard greens?

Collard greens, a Southern staple that's just begging for the perfect pairing! How about some classic cornbread for that perfect balance of savory and sweet? Or dive into some smoky, tender pulled pork for a mouthwatering combo that'll have you coming back for seconds! And if you're feeling adventurous, why not whip up some tangy coleslaw for a refreshing sidekick? Let the flavor adventure begin!

Collard greens go great with bacon or ham for a savory kick, and a splash of apple cider vinegar adds a tangy twist to balance the flavors.

Collard greens are such a versatile and nutritious veggie, aren't they? I've tried a few different pairings with them, and one of my favorites is serving them alongside some classic southern-style cornbread. The combination of the hearty greens with the slightly sweet and crumbly cornbread is just perfect! Another tasty option is to sauté them with some garlic and onions, then sprinkle them with a dash of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat. It's a simple yet delicious way to enjoy collard greens. Can't wait to hear everyone else's pairing ideas!
