Categories side-dish

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large bunches collards, homegrown or from the produce section, rinsed well
1/2 pound cured ham hock or salt pork
1/2 cup salt, for brine (optional, see Cook's Note below)
Buttermilk cornbread, for serving
Hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

Prepare the collards for cooking by cutting the large stems from the center of the leaves. Stack the leaves and cut them crosswise into 1-inch strips
Put 2 inches of water in a saucepan large enough to hold the raw collards (the leaves can be pushed down tightly and will wilt to about one-quarter volume as they cook). Add the ham hock or pork and bring the water to a boil. Add the collards and toss with tongs until the water returns to a boil and the leaves wilt down into the pan. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer over low heat for 1 hour, or until tender. Stir occasionally, checking to be sure there is enough liquid to prevent scorching. Taste the liquid and add salt if needed. Serve with buttermilk cornbread and hot sauce.

Anita's Cheater Beans Recipe - (5/5) image

Provided by kancook2

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 strips bacon, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/4 medium onion, finely diced
Two 27-ounce cans pinto beans
2 serrano peppers, scored
1 medium tomato, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper
1/4 bunch fresh cilantro (don't use the stems and don't chop, just snip or pinch off the leaves)

Steps:

In a large saucepan, fry the bacon over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Then add the onions and cook until the bacon is cooked but not crisp and the onions are translucent, another couple of minutes. Do not drain the bacon grease because it gives the beans a good taste. Add the beans, peppers, tomatoes, garlic and 1 1/2 cups water, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Add some salt and pepper and the cilantro and remove from the heat.
