Best Pork And Collards Stew Recipes

SOUTHERN-STYLE COLLARD GREENS RECIPE

• Add the pork, onion, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to a large pot with 1 quart (4 cups) water. Cover, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 30 minutes to create the pork broth. (You should be able to wash and prepare the collard greens while you make the broth.)
• Add the cut collard greens to the pork broth, cover, and continue to simmer until nice and silky, anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours (or more).
• Remove the smoked pork neck bones, pick the meat off the bones into small pieces, and return the meat to the collard greens, discarding the bones. Add the vinegar, taste, and adjust the seasonings as you see fit. Serve.
