   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.
