New Year's Collard Greens
A traditional southern treat, collard greens are a New Year's tradition for many. For some cultures, eating greens is a means to ensure money in the new year.
2 smoked ham hocks
2 qt chicken broth
1 medium onion chopped
2 bay leaves
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
2 TBS white sugar
2 bunches collard greens
Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tsp red wine vinegar
Put the hocks, broth, onion, bay leaves, pepper flakes and sugar in a stock pot. Bring to a full boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Skim off fat and foam.
Cut off the collard green stalks. Slice the greens into 1” strips. Add them to the stock pot and simmer one hour.
