• Yields: 2 Quarts
• Serves: 12

ingredients

• 10 large collard greens, leaves rinsed and chopped
• 1 quart chicken stock
• 3 small ham hocks
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
• salt
• hot sauce or pepper sauce
• water

directions

1. Add ham hocks to large pot and add chicken stock, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, black pepper and enough water to cover ham hocks. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer, simmer for 1 to 2 hours to create the broth. Take out ham hocks and pull any meat from hocks and replace to pot. Add collard greens and vinegar and simmer from 1 hour to 5 hours depending on the texture you prefer. Salt to taste and serve. I like to serve them in a bowl and add hot or pepper sauce.

Excellent! Just like I remember from back home. I used 8 slices of bacon diced rather than hamhock. Great greens! Thanks for sharing.
