Collard Greens and Cabbage image

I got this recipe off of a soul food site called Chitterlings. I made this Friday night and these are the best collard greens I've ever eaten. I served with a big skillet of cornbread. Prep time is lengthy due to the cleaning and cutting of the greens. Cook time approximate. This makes a lot of greens!

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium ham hocks
1 onion, chopped
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
crushed red pepper flakes, to taste

4 bunches collard greens, cleaned and cut
1 head cabbage, cleaned and cut up

Steps:

  • Add the bacon fat to a large stock pot.

  • Add your ham hocks to the pot, cover with water, onion and spices.
  • Boil for about an hour.
  • Add cleaned and cut collards to the pot, cover and cook until tender (45 minutes to an hour, less if you like them less cooked).

I love that this recipe is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste. I like to add some diced tomatoes and okra to my pot. You can also adjust the amount of spice to your liking.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover turkey or chicken. I like to add some shredded turkey or chicken to my pot. It adds a lot of flavor and makes the dish even more hearty.
