‘Green Gold’ Is What We Call It. Three Ingredients, but It Tastes Like Generations of Flavor!

Directions

In a large pot, combine chicken broth and smoked ham hock. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Add collard greens and stir to ensure they’re fully submerged.

Cover the pot and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, until the greens are tender and infused with flavor.

Remove the ham hock, shred the meat from the bone, and stir it back into the greens.

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot.

Variations & Tips

For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and skip the ham hock.

Add a splash of apple cider vinegar or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of tang or heat.

To appeal to picky eaters, finely chop the greens and mix them into mashed potatoes or rice.
