Return the Pot to Medium-Low Heat; Add Oil, Onion, and Garlic and Cook, Stirring Often, Until Fragrant and Starting to Brown in Spots, 2 to 8 Minutes (cooking Time Will Be Quicker If You Started With Bacon). Add 1 Cup Broth and Salt; Bring to a Boil Over High Heat. Add Collards (or Kale); Stir Until Wilted Down to About One-Third the Volume and Bright Green, 1 to 2 Minutes. Cover, Reduce Heat to Medium-Low, and Simmer, Stirring Occasionally, Until Tender, 18 to 20 Minutes. Adjust Heat During Cooking to Maintain a Simmer, and Add Water, 1/4 Cup at a Time, If the Pan Seems Dry. |
