"My Grandma Ollie-Belle made the best 'greens.' This recipe is as close to hers as I could come. The 'pot-liquor' is the key to great greens!! Serve with fresh green onions and black-eyed peas with rice." Pass the cornbread please! Read more See less

This recipe sounds absolutely fantastc! I need to get some salt pork and ham hocks, and then I can cook this meal. I'm really looking forward to this - I've not had ham hocks in over 30 years, and I am a big fan of salt pork and greens! I will rate this as well for you when I've made it. Thank you for telling me about this - My mouth is watering lol. The salt pork and ham hocks sound like a brilliant combination, and with the red wine vinegar, bay leaves, red pepper flakes, onions and the other ingredients - Yummmmmmmmmm!
