2 cups water
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 smoked ham hock (1pound), split

Recipe
1. Bring water and bouillon cube to a boil in a 4- to
5-quart pot, stirring to dissolve cube.
Add ham hock and whole onion. Stir in greens a handful

greens and onion are very
tender.

until rice is tender and liquid is
absorbed.
3. While rice cooks, remove ham hock to cutting board.
Slice meat off bone and cut in
small pieces. Return to greens. Reheat gently, if necessary.
Serve with rice and beans.
