1/2 pound smoked meat (ham hocks, smoked turkey wings, or smoked neck
bones)
1 tablespoon House seasoning, recipe follows
1 tablespoon seasoned salt
1 tablespoon hot red pepper sauce
1 large bunch collard greens
1 tablespoon butter
In a large pot, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil and add smoked meat,
house seasoning, seasoned salt and hot sauce. Reduce heat to medium
and cook for 1 hour.
Wash the collard greens thoroughly. Remove the stems that run down the
center by holding the leaf in your left hand and stripping the leaf
down with your right hand. The tender young leaves in the heart of the
collards don't need to be stripped. Stack 6 to 8 leaves on top of one
another, roll up, and slice into 1/2 to 1-ince thick slices. Place
greens in pot with meat and add butter. Cook for 45 to 60 minutes,
stirring occasionally. When done taste and adjust seasoning.
Serve with favorite dish as a side.
