    Recipe Introduction


    Along with blackeyed peas and cornbread it's also traditional to eat
    leafy green vegetables, such as collards, on New Year's Eve in the
    south as they are thought to bring money for the coming year.

    List of Ingredients




    Collard Greens with Ham Hocks from David



    Allow plenty of time to cook this dish. 4 bunches fresh collard
    greens, cleaned and steamed


    5 slices of bacon
    1 smoked ham hock
    2 med. onions, chopped
    4-6 cloves garlic, minced
    1 bunch of green onions (optional)
    salt and pepper to taste
    7 cups of water

    Recipe





    If the collard green leaves are large, cut in half after lightly
    steaming.


    Cook the bacon in a large stock pot, rendering as much fat as
    possible. Add water to the pot and bring to a boil. Add the ham hock,
    the chopped onion and salt and pepper to taste. Let mixture boil for
    10 minutes. Add the collard greens, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat
    and let simmer for about 3-4 hours or until well cooked and most of
    the water is cooked away.

    Serves 8-10
