A true Southern delicacy, it’s hard to even find collards with ham hocks served in other parts of the country. But once you’ve had them, they’re sure to be a staple at all your cookouts. Be sure to save the pot liquor (the broth leftover after boiling the greens) as a stock for soups and stews!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ medium white onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- 2 (32 fluid ounce) containers chicken stock
- 3 cups water
- 2 smoked ham hocks
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns
- 2 bunches collard greens – rinsed, trimmed, and chopped
- 6 slices chopped cooked bacon
Directions
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add onion and saute until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.
Step 2
Add chicken stock, water, ham hocks, vinegar, and peppercorns to the pot. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour.
Step 3
Strain solids out of the pot and increase heat to high. Add collards and return to a boil. Add bacon and reduce heat to a simmer. Continue to simmer until greens are tender, about 1 hour.
Step 4
Ladle collards into bowls with a little stock and serve.
