Liberian Style Collard Greens

Ingredients

• 6 slices bacon
• 1 bunch collard greens, chopped
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 3 cups water, plus more as needed
• 3 cubes chicken bouillon
• 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
• 1 pinch soul food seasoning, or to taste
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
• Salt to taste
• Ground black pepper to taste
• 2 (6 ounce) fillets flounder

Directions

Place the bacon in a large deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate and crumble.

Heat collard greens, vegetable oil, water, and chicken bouillon in a large pot over medium heat. Simmer until greens are wilted, about 10 minutes. Stir bacon, peanut butter, liquid smoke, soul food seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper into pot; cover and simmer until greens are very tender and peanut butter begins to separate, about 1 1/2 hours. Add more water if the mixture becomes too dry.

Stir flounder fillets into greens. Continue to cook until fish breaks down, about 30 minutes more, stirring frequently.
