Collard greens are my least favorite, so I substituted turnip greens. They came out absolutely fabulous. Cooked them for my mother's 80th birthday party and got rave reviews. Gotta say that I cut back on the vinegar and used less red pepper, but that's just my personal taste. What I love about this recipe is that it comes out right EVERY SINGLE TIME.




Even beats the best of the Real South!

A wonderful flavor of tang and spice. Add a little cayenne and heat it up even more. Beats some of my favorite greens made by my good friend from the South US. I would definately serve this to those who have never tried greens--they will have cravings!




the best ever

these collard greens will make you never eat them anywhere else again. friends that usually hate collard greens mopped them up and even kids went crazy for them. if you're sensitive to salt, you can use one ham hock instead of 2. i usually simmer it for a hour or two longer and then use kitchen shears to cut up the meat and pull the bone out. delicious and easy!!!!




Easy Does it

This recipe will surely change your mind. That's exactly what it did for me. I was always turned off by other recipes which had a bitter taste - this one is packed with flavor.




Finally, a way to make greens taste delicious!

I was definitely not disappointed by this recipe - the greens were so tasty I had 3 helpings! I couldn't find ham hocks so I substituted prosciutto and bacon, which gave it a fantastic flavor. I also used kale instead of collards. A real gem of a recipe - I will make this again and again.




Definitely Southern

I love a good home-cooked meal and I combined this with your Black-eyed Peas and Stewed Tomatoes. What a perfect combination. I love watching Tyler's show.

I found the greens to be even tastier the next day. The flavor intensifies with the smokiness. Yumm
