Ingredients
- 1 lb. collard greens $2.99, chopped
- 1 yellow onion $0.37
- 4 cloves garlic $0.32
- 1 Tbsp neutral cooking oil $0.04, generic cooking oil
- 1 smoked ham hock $1.50
- 4 cups chicken broth $0.64
- 1 tsp sugar $0.02
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper $0.02
- 1/4 tsp black pepper $0.02, freshly cracked
Instructions
- Prepare the collard greens by removing the stems and then chopping the leaves into one to two-inch pieces (or use bagged, pre-chopped collard greens). Place the collard greens in a colander and rinse well.
- Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add the onion and garlic to a large soup pot along with the cooking oil. Sauté over medium heat until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Add the washed collard greens, ham hock, sugar, red pepper, black pepper, and chicken broth to the pot. Stir briefly to combine.
- Place a lid on the pot and allow it to come up to a simmer. Once simmering, turn the heat down to low and let the green simmer for one hour, with a lid, stirring occasionally.
- After simmering for one hour, taste the greens and see if they are simmered to your desired tenderness. If not, simmer longer.
- Remove the ham hock and pull the meat from the bone. Chop the ham into small pieces, then stir it back into the greens.
- Give the collard greens a final taste and adjust the salt, sugar, or other seasonings to your liking. Serve hot with your favorite meal!
Notes
- *You can substitute the ham hock with a ham bone, smoked turkey wing, salt pork, pancetta, or ham.
