Collard Greens and Cabbage image

I got this recipe off of a soul food site called Chitterlings. I made this Friday night and these are the best collard greens I've ever eaten. I served with a big skillet of cornbread. Prep time is lengthy due to the cleaning and cutting of the greens. Cook time approximate. This makes a lot of greens!

2 medium ham hocks
1 onion, chopped
salt, to taste

4 bunches collard greens, cleaned and cut
1 head cabbage, cleaned and cut up

Steps:

  • Add the bacon fat to a large stock pot.
  • If you don't save your bacon fat, fry up a few slices of bacon in the pot you are going to cook your greens in; leave the bacon and fat.
  • Add your ham hocks to the pot, cover with water, onion and spices.
  • Boil for about an hour.
  • Add cleaned and cut collards to the pot, cover and cook until tender (45 minutes to an hour, less if you like them less cooked).
