Description

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp bacon fat, lard or vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, sliced from root to tip
• 1 ham hock
• 2 garlic cloves, smashed
• 1 quart chicken broth
• 1-2 cups water
• 8-10 cups chopped collard greens, about 2 pounds
• Vinegar and hot sauce to taste

Directions

• 1 Heat the bacon fat in a large pot set over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion in the bacon fat, stirring often, until the edges begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the ham hock, smashed garlic, chicken stock and water and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 1 hour. 2 Add the collard greens to the pot and cook until tender, another 45 minutes to an hour. 3 To serve, fish out the ham hock, pull the meat off the bones and chop. Mix the meat back with the greens and serve with vinegar and hot sauce at the table.
