Slow-Cooked Collard Greens
Ingredients
  • 3 quarts chicken stock
  • 2 pounds fresh ham hocks
  • 1/2 pound salt pork
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 pounds collard greens - rinsed, stemmed and thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by filling a large cooking vessel with chicken stock. Next, add ham hocks, salt pork, an onion, bay leaves, sugar, and red pepper flakes to the pot. Place it over high heat until a rolling boil is achieved, then gradually decrease the heat to a gentle simmer. Allow the mixture to cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Subsequently, add collard greens to the pot and bring it back to a boil. Once again, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and continue cooking until the greens have reached your desired level of tenderness, approximately 30 minutes. Finally, season the dish with a splash of red wine vinegar, accompanied by salt and pepper to taste.
