Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Rinse the chopped Collard Greens thoroughly under cold water.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the Ham Hock, Yellow Onion, Garlic Cloves, Chicken Broth, Apple Cider Vinegar, Red Pepper Flakes, Black Pepper, Salt, and Sugar.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, add the Collard Greens, and cover.
Simmer for at least 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the greens are tender and the ham hock is falling off the bone. Stir occasionally.
Remove the ham hock, shred the meat, and return it to the pot. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve hot.
