Ingredients

1 1/2 quarts water possibly a little more

1 1/2 - 2 lbs pounds ham hocks

4 pounds collard greens, rinsed and trimmed

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

1/4 cup vegetable oil

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

MAKE SURE TO WASH YOUR COLLARDS SEVERAL TIMES IN YOUR SINK BEFORE COOKING.....

Place the water and the ham hock in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat to very low and simmer covered for 30 minutes.

Add the collards and the hot pepper flakes the pot. Simmer covered for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Add the vegetable oil and simmer covered for 30 minutes.

EAT YOUR COLLARDS WITH PEPPER SAUCE (THIS IS PEPPERS BOTTLED IN VINEGAR, THAT HAS SAT ON A SHELF FOR A FEW MONTHS) WITH CHOPPED ONION ON TOP OR BOTH!

Hey, did y'all know you can wash a BIG bunch of greens in the washing machine? Yep, just don't tell anybody, lol. Put 'em in the washer on GENTLE and let 'em swish. (No soap) Take 'em out before the spin cycle, of course!! Seriously.

This looks good...I make them pretty much the same way...using ham hocks, a little bacon dripping and red pepper flakes! I must have been southern in a past life! Ha!
