Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 qt water
1 smoked ham hock (3/4 lb), rinsed
4 lb collard greens (preferably small)
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Bring water with ham hock to a boil in an 8-quart pot, uncovered, skimming any froth, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, 1 hour.
  • While hock simmers, discard coarse stems and center ribs from collards, then wash leaves and drain. Coarsely chop collards.
  • Add collards and red pepper flakes to ham hock broth, then simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until greens are very tender, about 45 minutes. Remove hock from cooking liquid and let stand until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Discard skin and bones and coarsely chop meat. Stir meat and salt to taste into collards.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my collard greens turned out really bitter. I think I might have overcooked them.

These collard greens were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll omit the red pepper flakes next time.

These collard greens were just okay. I found them to be a bit bland, even though I added extra seasoning. I probably won't make them again.

I've made collard greens before, but this recipe is by far the best. The slow cooker really brings out the flavor of the greens. I served them with cornbread and black-eyed peas, and it was a perfect meal.
