SLOW-COOKED COLLARD GREENS

Steps:

• To prepare the greens: cut away the tough stalks and stems from the collards, and discard any leaves that are bruised or yellow. Wash the collards thoroughly to remove the grit, 2 or 3 times, until the water runs clear. Dry thoroughly. Tear the leaves into large pieces.
• Place a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the onion, garlic, bay leaves, and ham hock. Cook until the onions are soft and starting to brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Pack in the greens, pushing them down into the pot. Add the broth, vinegar, and sugar. Bring up to a boil turning the greens over occasionally with a wooden spoon as they wilt. Lower to a simmer, cover the pot, and let cook for 45 minutes. Taste the "pot liquor" (broth) and check the seasoning, add salt and pepper. Cover and let cook for 15 more minutes. Remove the bay leaves and serve.

SOUTHERN SLOW COOKED COLLARD GREENS

Steps:

• Add the water to a large pot. Add the pork neck and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
• Let simmer for 30 minutes.
• Rinse each leaf from the batch of collard greens.
• Carefully, use a sharp knife and slice the large middle vein from each leaf. Stack a few leaves on top of each other and roll them up. Starting on the end, make 1 inch slices down the roll to slice the collard greens into strips
• After the pork had simmered for 30 minutes, add the collard greens to the water.
• Add in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. Stir. Cover and lower the temperature to low and let the collard greens simmer for 3 hours.
• After the 3 hour mark, it\'s time to add the pork jowl.
• Heat a medium skillet over medium heat.
• Remove the rind from the pork jowl and add it to the pot of collard greens.
• Slice the remaining pork jowl into cubes and add them to a skillet. Cook the cubes until some of the fat has rendered and the cubes are somewhat crispy, about 10 minutes.
• Add the drippings and cubes of pork jowl to the collard greens.
• Cover and let simmer for 2 more hours.
• -- Optional -- You can remove the pork jowl and rind from the greens before serving but I just leave them in there and let guest decide if they want them or not. :) I personally love the flavor but don\'t want to bite into cubes of pork while others that I know want as many as they can get. :
