Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 to 3 ham shanks, or a meaty ham bone, or ham hocks
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds mustard greens, tough stems removed, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Pepper vinegar sauce, to taste, optional
Salt, to taste, optional
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste, optional

Steps:

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat.
  • Add the onions, ham shanks or ham bone; cook, stirring, until onions are wilted.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer.
  • Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  • Add the mustard greens, a few handfuls at a time, adding more as the first batch wilts.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low; add Worcestershire sauce and a dash of hot pepper sauce.
  • Cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Cover and simmer for about 30 to 40 minutes longer.
  • Taste and add more pepper sauce, salt, and pepper, as needed. *If you can't find pepper sauce or pepper vinegar in your area, you can make it quickly. Fill a washed and sterilized jar with small hot peppers. Bring about 1 cup of vinegar (as much as will cover the peppers) to a boil and then pour over the peppers. Cover and store in the refrigerator. For hotter pepper sauce, cut a slit in some of the peppers or slice a few of them. Some other types of greens that could be substituted include collard greens , kale , turnip greens , or a mixture of greens .

Tips:

  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The fresher your greens and ham, the better your dish will taste. Look for greens that are bright and crisp, and ham that is well-seasoned and has a good smoke flavor.

  • Add a variety of flavors: Greens and ham are a classic combination, but you can add other flavors to your dish to make it even more delicious. Try adding onions, garlic, bacon, or even a splash of white wine.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Greens and ham are a great main course, but they can also be served with a variety of sides. Try mashed potatoes, cornbread, or green beans.
