Collard Greens Recipe

Collard greens, turnip greens and mustard greens are considered lucky foods. They are said to represent green “folding money”. When you eat greens, you open yourself up to prosperity in the new year.

Ingredients

Preparation

If you decide to use the Greens that come in bunches, tear leaves from the stems and wash thoroughly.

Empty the entire bag of greens in a large stock pot and completely submerge them in water. They should be at least an inch from the surface of the water in the pot. You can always add more water if needed.

Add the other ingredients (onion, garlic, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and ham hock or smoked jowl or smoked fatback).

Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 3 hours, stirring occasionally.

Turn the stove off, let the pot cool and place the whole pot in the refrigerator. Enjoy them the next day. Greens are always better if cooked the day before you have them.

Additional Tips:

When you serve them, sprinkle some pepper sauce on them. It makes them even more delicious.
