Instructions

Cook the onions in bacon fat: Heat the bacon fat in a large pot set over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion in the bacon fat, stirring often, until the edges begin to brown, about 5 minutes.

Add the ham hock, garlic, chicken stock and water: Add the ham hock, smashed garlic, chicken stock, and water, and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 1 hour.

Add the collard greens: Add the collard greens and cook, partially covered, until they are tender, another 45 minutes to an hour.

Chop the meat, add to the greens: To serve, remove the ham hock, pull the meat off the bones, and chop. Mix the meat back with the greens.

Season the collards, then serve: Taste and season with salt, if needed. Serve with vinegar and hot sauce at the table. Did you love the recipe? Give us some stars and leave a comment below!
