Categories     Side Dish

Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 small bunches collard greens (about 3 - 3 1/2 lbs)
1 extra large smoked ham hock (make sure it is meaty!)
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp bacon grease
1 tbsp seasoned salt
2 tsp worcheshire sauce
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (you can go down on this to 1/2 teaspoon if you like less heat.)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 cup finely chopped onion

Steps:

  • Start by pulling and tearing greens away from stems. Take a hand full of greens, roll them up and cut the rolls horizontally into small pieces. We personally remove the stems but this is a personal decision.
  • Next, add greens to empty clean sink and wash them removing all grit, sand and debris thoroughly with cold water until water becomes clear.
  • Next rinse the ham hock very well then add to a large pot along with enough water to fully submerge the ham hock then cover with a lid. Cook over medium high heat for about 45 minutes or until ham hock is near being tender.
  • Once ham hock is almost tender, add greens and about 4-5 additional cups of water or enough to just barely cover greens to the pot. This will become your pot likker.
  • Add along the rest of the ingredients to the pot and cook while covered for at least 2 hours or until completely tender. Most water should have evaporated by this point just having enough to barely cover the greens.
