Collard Greens Cooked with Salt Pork
2 Tbs oil
1 chunk of salt pork, maybe 2" long
1 quart hot water
2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1-3 pounds collard greens
Heat the oil and cook the salt pork for 10 minutes or so, until a bit crispy. The original recipe called for 1 cup of chopped ham so you could use that as well. Add the hot water and bring to a boil, then simmer 10 minutes to make a quick broth. Add the salt, sugar, and collard greens, bring back to a boil, then lower to a simmer, stirring now and then. Cook at a slow simmer for
about 45 minutes. Add the ham back in if you want.
