Good ole southern collards. I like them with a spicy vinegar Ingredients:
1-1/2 quarts water |
1-1/2 pounds ham hocks |
4 pounds collard greens, rinsed and trimmed |
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional) |
1/4 cup vegetable oil |
salt and pepper to taste |
optional: 4 to 6 garlic cloves, crushed and chopped |
Directions:
1. Optional: In the large pot, sweat the garlic before adding the water and ham hock.
2. Place the water and the ham hock in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat to very low and simmer covered for 30 minutes.
3. Add the collards and the hot pepper flakes the pot. Simmer covered for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
4. Add the vegetable oil and simmer covered for 30 minutes.
