Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
2 pounds smoked ham hocks
3 pounds collard greens – cleaned, stems removed, cut into 1/4-inch strips
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Place smoked ham hocks in a large pot and add 4 cups of water. Cover and simmer over low heat until meat nearly pulls away from the bone, and the skin is a little tender, about 1 hour.
Remove ham hocks from the pot. Add collards and red pepper flakes, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer until tender, about 1 hour. Add ham hocks back in and cook for another 15 minutes.
