Braised Collard Greens with Pastured Ham Hock

Ingredients

  1. 1

    Simmer the ham hock in the stock with the onion and garlic for 45 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the collards and red pepper flakes and simmer 45-60 minutes until tender.

  3. 3

    Remove the hock, shred the meat, and stir it back in.

  4. 4

    Finish with the cider vinegar and season to taste.

Notes

Farm tip: Let the hock simmer first so it flavors the broth before the greens go in.

Serving suggestion: Serve with cornbread and hot sauce.
