Collard Greens with Ham Hocks image

A true Southern delicacy, it's hard to even find collards with ham hocks served in other parts of the country. But once you've had them, they're sure to be a staple at all your cookouts. Be sure to save the pot liquor (the broth leftover after boiling the greens) as a stock for soups and stews!

Time 2h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ medium white onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, smashed
2 (32 fluid ounce) containers chicken stock
3 cups water
2 hocks smoked ham hocks
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns
2 bunches collard greens - rinsed, trimmed, and chopped
6 slices chopped cooked bacon

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add onion and saute until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.
  • Add chicken stock, water, ham hocks, vinegar, and peppercorns to the pot. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour.
  • Strain solids out of the pot and increase heat to high. Add collards and return to a boil. Add bacon and reduce heat to a simmer. Continue to simmer until greens are tender, about 1 hour.
  • Ladle collards into bowls with a little stock and serve.

I added a can of diced tomatoes to the recipe, and it gave the collard greens a nice tangy flavor.

I didn't have any ham hocks, so I used smoked turkey legs instead. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my collard greens were tough. I think I might have used the wrong type of collard greens.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my collard greens turned out bitter. I think I might have overcooked them.

I added a few extra spices to the recipe, and it turned out even better. I think I'll add some bacon next time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of ham hocks. The collard greens were still delicious!
