    I would cook the greens differently...

    I cook my collard greens very differently. You should cook the hamhock first in water. Let it broil then pour off the water.... Put them in the pot with the greens, you do not need extra water because the greens will create their own juice. Season them with kosher salt and I like Mrs. Dash and Old Bay Seasoning. You can also use a little cayenne pepper for a little spice if you like. Pour a little vinegar on them to help them tenderize during cooking. Cook them until tender.Read more
