This is a delicious twist on a soul food staple! These African greens are never bitter. I got the recipe from a Liberian restaurant. You may think the ingredients are strange, but they come together perfectly. You may want to adjust the amounts to your taste. When cooking something like greens, eyeballing is the best measurement. The longer you cook these, the more the flavors mesh and the better they taste.

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 crumbled bacon, peanut butter, liquid smoke, soul food seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper into the pot; cover and simmer until greens are very tender and peanut butter begins to separate, about 1 1/2 hours.
