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.

The Best Greens I've Ever Had
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Delicious. Even my husband liked them, and he's not a greens fan. I thought it was weird boiling ingredients for so long... prior to adding the greens, but oh my goodness! Don't question it, just do it!Read more

I have made these greens on several occasions, and they have been consistently fantastic. I also think the recipe is a... little bit salty, but that is easily remedied by cutting back a bit on the salt. Yummy!Read more

I made this about two months ago and have made it twice since. News Year day is Black Eyed Pea day so I made that, collard... greens and rice. A great southern way to start our year up here in NJ. I save the leftover juices and freeze it. I put it in lentil soup and it had a real WOW factor.Read more

Simple and Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

When I first made this recipe I thought it was way too simple to be as amazing as it was. Paula - you taught me something... big here... Smoked turkey meat is an incredible ingrediant for cooking. It was absolutely delicious, and I stole a little broth to add to my pinto beans for our New Years Party. Thanks Paula!Read more
