  Collard greens, a plentiful winter vegetable, are a wonderful source
  of calcium and iron. They're best and healthiest when eaten slightly
  crunchy, so be sure not to overcook them.
  
  1. Stack 4-6 collard leaves and roll them up diagonally. Thinly slice
  the leaves crosswise. Reserve.
  
  2. Place bacon in a large, heavy pot over low heat and cook for 5
  minutes, stirring, to render fat. Add garlic to the bacon and cook
  for 2 minutes, stirring. Do not brown.
  
  3. Add collard greens, in batches if necessary, until they all fit.
  Combine ingredients well; season with salt and pepper.
  
  4. Drizzle greens with chicken broth. Cover pot and cook over
  medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring ocaasionally, until just
  tender but still slightly crunchy. Serve hot.
