Preparation method

Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 2 hours

1. Add ham hocks to large pot and add chicken stock, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes and black pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer, simmer for 1 to 2 hours to create the broth. Add collard greens and vinegar and simmer from 1 hour to 5 hours depending on the texture you prefer. Salt to taste and serve. I like to serve them in a bowl and add hot or pepper sauce. The broth comes out like soup and I hear it is an old remedy for what ever ails you.
