NECKBONES AND COLLARD GREENS OR TURNIP GREENS

Steps:

• Wash neck bones in warm water and 1/2 Tablespoon salt.
• Put neck bones in a large pot filled halfway with hot water and 1 tablespoon salt.
• Boil 30 minutes.
• While neck bones are cooking, cut the long stalks off the greens and remove any yellow leaves.
• Wash the greens in lots of cold water twice.
• When the neck bones have cooked 30 minutes, add all the greens, pour some bacon drippings or fatback grease over them for extra seasoning.
• Cover and turn burner down on low to simmer.
• Cook until greens are tender. (approximately 1 hour).
• Put in colander to drain. Tip*** Take a small saucer and push on the greens to get most of the water content out. You may have to pick some bones out because the neck bones some times fall apart. Cooking them in some type of bag (cheesecloth?) might help but I don't do that.
• You can cut them up how you like. I use a Hand Chopper. I like mine chopped fine but you can chop to your liken.

SMOKY COLLARD GREENS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onions, paprika, and cayenne and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water to the pot and once the water is simmering, add the greens (you may have to pack them in). Season generously with salt and pepper, cover with a lid and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the lid, toss the greens well with tongs, and continue simmering on low heat, until the greens are completely cooked and nearly all of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes more.
• Taste and adjust seasoning. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm.

TASTY COLLARD GREENS

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic, and gently saute until light brown. Pour in the chicken stock, and add the turkey leg. Cover the pot, and simmer for 30 minutes.

• Reduce heat to medium, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook until the greens are tender and dark green, 45 to 60 minutes. Drain greens, reserving liquid. Mix in red pepper flakes if desired. Use liquid to reheat leftovers.

SOUTHERN-STYLE COLLARD GREENS RECIPE

• Add the pork, onion, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to a large pot with 1 quart (4 cups) water. Cover, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 30 minutes to create the pork broth. (You should be able to wash and prepare the collard greens while you make the broth.)
• Add the cut collard greens to the pork broth, cover, and continue to simmer until nice and silky, anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours (or more).
• Remove the smoked pork neck bones, pick the meat off the bones into small pieces, and return the meat to the collard greens, discarding the bones. Add the vinegar, taste, and adjust the seasonings as you see fit. Serve.

SOUTHERN-STYLE COLLARD GREENS WITH SMOKED TURKEY

Steps:

• Remove the thick fibrous stems from your collard greens. Rinse the leaves of the greens thoroughly to remove any dirt and sand. Roll the leaves up and chop them into manageable bite-sized pieces.
• In a large tall stock pot, sauté the leeks and onion in the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add kosher salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper. Cook until the leeks and onion are translucent, about 7 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring to distribute. Add the thyme bundle, and smoked meat. Stir for about a minute to help the thyme release its flavor into the onion mixture.
• Pour in the chicken stock and water, then add the spice blends. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes with the lid on. Taste the broth mixture, season to taste/adjust.
• When you're satisfied with the flavor, add the collard greens. Push them down and stir them around until they're submerged. Cover and simmer on low heat for 1 hour.
• Add the vinegar and honey, and cook and additional 30 minutes to 1 hour or until the collard greens are melt-in-your-mouth tender and the smoked meat is falling off the bone.
• Remove the smoked meat bones from the pot, let them cool just enough so you can handle them. With gloved hands or a fork, pick the meat from the bones and add it back to the greens. Taste and adjust.
• When the greens are perfectly seasoned and balanced, serve and enjoy.
