Smoky Collard Greens with Vegan Bacon

Made these for Thanksgiving, they were delicious. I feel like even kids would eat these (those that aren't immediately put off by the word "green.") The "bacon" is either vegan bacon bits (fairly common, actually) or smoked tempeh. There are plenty of ingredients that add flavor: liquid smoke, lemon juice, cooking wine.

One thing worth mentioning: although I know this, I was still surprised how 6 cups of collards cooks down to next to nothing. Be aware you may need to double it. Three of us easily wiped out what I had made.

Equipment needed: Dutch oven or tall stockpot, skillet
