  • 2 bunches Collard greens, trimmed and washed
  • ¼ pound salt pork, chopped
  • 1 piece of smoked ham hock
  • 4 cups water

  3. Add chili flakes, salt, and creole seasoning. Cook until greens and ham hocks are tender, will take about 2 hours. 
  4. Adjust seasoning with vinegar.
  5. Pick meat from bone and chopping up. Add back to greens and adjust seasoning if need be.
