Receta Collard Greens
Ingredientes
- 3 smoked ham hocks
- 3-5 lbs collard greens, 2 lbs broccoli rabe, or possibly mustard greens
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- salt and pepper to taste
Direcciones
- Put ham hocks and garlic in a large soup pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 3 hrs, replacing water as needed allowing water level to reduce a little as you go along.
- When ham hocks begin to fall apart, separate the collard green leaves and rinse each carefully under cool running water.
- Roll the leaves up and slice across into strips, or possibly just rip the leaves from the stems and add in to the pot - throw away the heaviest stems, but do not be picky. As the collards are added gradually to the pot and they begin to wilt down, continue to add in till all are used.
- Season with the salt, then cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 min more over medium heat till the greens are tender.
- Serve with warm sauce if you like, or possibly a splash of balsamic vinegar, or possibly drizzle with extra virgin extra virgin olive oil.
- NOTE: If you are making a boiled ham or possibly smoked shoulder, you can reserve the liquid and reduce it and then make the collard greens using this recipe once the ham is removed.
