Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound smoked meat (ham hocks, smoked turkey wings, or smoked neck bones)
  • 1 tablespoon House seasoning, recipe follows
  • 1 tablespoon seasoned salt
  • 1 tablespoon hot red pepper sauce
  • 1 large bunch collard greens
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

In a large pot, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil and add smoked meat, house seasoning, seasoned salt and hot sauce. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 1 hour.

Wash the collard greens thoroughly. Remove the stems that run down the center by holding the leaf in your left hand and stripping the leaf down with your right hand. The tender young leaves in the heart of the collards don't need to be stripped. Stack 6 to 8 leaves on top of one another, roll up, and slice into 1/2 to 1-ince thick slices. Place greens in pot with meat and add butter. Cook for 45 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally. When done taste and adjust seasoning.

Serve with favorite dish as a side.

House Seasoning:

  • 1 cup salt
  • 1/4 cup black pepper
  • 1/4 cup garlic powder

Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

    DIVINE. I made this recipe and added 1/2 cup sugar as suggested in the Neely's "Gina's Best Collards" recipe. I also used a giant smoked ham hock, extra hot pepper sauce and a can of beer in place of 1 quart of water. My friends ate the entire pot and said it would be criminal to not save the potlicker for soup. REALLY GOOD.

    Very tasty. I used 3 smoked ham hocks & 2 bunches of greens. Next time, I'll omit the salt when using the ham hocks. Yum!

    Delicious! I used leftover (baked smoked ham so the initial cooking time was much shorter. This could make a green eater out of someone who "doesn't like greens"!
