Number Of Ingredients 5

1 smoked ham hock (about 1/4 pound)
3 pounds (about 4 bunches) collard greens, stalks removed, leaves cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Hot sauce, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large pot, combine ham hock, collard greens, and 8 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until collards are very tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Remove ham hock, and discard. Add vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Serve collards with their broth, and, if desired, hot sauce.
