A true Southern delicacy, it's hard to even find collards with ham hocks served in other parts of the country. But once you've had them, they're sure to be a staple at all your cookouts. Be sure to save the pot liquor (the broth leftover after boiling the greens) as a stock for soups and stews!

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add onion and saute until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.
- Add chicken stock, water, ham hocks, vinegar, and peppercorns to the pot. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour.
- Strain solids out of the pot and increase heat to high. Add collards and return to a boil. Add bacon and reduce heat to a simmer. Continue to simmer until greens are tender, about 1 hour.
- Ladle collards into bowls with a little stock and serve.

[email protected]I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe without the ham hocks. The collard greens were still delicious, but I think they would have been even better with the ham hocks.

[email protected]This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a bit too much cayenne pepper. Other than that, the collard greens were delicious and the ham hocks were cooked perfectly.
