BEST EVER COLLARD GREENS



Best Ever Collard Greens image

This is my own recipe for collard greens. Once I made them this way my husband won't let me cook them any other way. People who don't typically like greens like these. It is also good with turnips and mustards. I add some of the turnip root if I use turnips.

I wrote down this recipe from a Chef on television. I made my own slight changes. I have made this dozens of times and we lick the plate! I never liked collards until I discovered this recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do :-)

Time 3h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 lb smoked meat (ham hocks, smoked turkey wings, or smoked neck bones)
1 tablespoon seasoning salt
1 tablespoon hot red pepper sauce
2 bunches collard greens
1 tablespoon butter
white vinegar
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring 3-4 quarts of water to a boil and add smoked meat, house seasoning, seasoned salt and hot sauce. Reduce heat to medium and cook for at least 1 hour.
  • Step 2:.
  • Wash the collard greens thoroughly. Remove the stems that run down the center by holding the leaf in your left hand and stripping the leaf down with your right hand. The tender young leaves in the heart of the collards don't need to be stripped. Stack 6 to 8 leaves on top of one another, roll up, and slice into 1/2 to 1-ince thick slices. Place greens in pot with meat and add butter. Cook for an hour to two hours.stirring occasionally, I have found the longer you cook it the better it is! When done taste and adjust seasoning.
  • When I eat my collards I enjoy pouring some white vinegar over them with a pinch of salt and pepper.
