Martin Luther Kings Collard Greens

Created by dienia b on January 15, 2024

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons oil
1 cup onion, chopped
8 ounces ham hock (1)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 pounds collard greens, stems discarded, leaves washed twice, cut into ribbons (2 bunches)
4 cups chicken stock

Step 1: In a stock pot on medium heat, melt the butter and then add the oil, onions, and ham hock.
Step 2: Stir and cook until the onions are translucent and tender.
Step 3: Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook a bit more.
Step 4: Add the greens and saute until they become bright green.
Step 5: Add the stock, water, and vinegar, tabasco sauce and then raise the heat to a boil, lower to a simmer, and cook for at least 1 1/2 hours.
Step 6: When ready, the ham hock meat will be easy to remove from the bone.
Step 7: Do so and make sure each serving gets a chunk of ham hock.
Step 8: Season with salt and pepper to taste, remembering the ham hock and broth will add salt content.
Step 9: Add a little extra vinegar or tabasco sauce at the end, if desired.
