Collard Greens

5 bunches of fresh collard greens

2 smoked ham hocks

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (you can of course had a bit more for a kick)

salt and pepper to taste

Start by cleaning the collard greens, trim off all the tough parts and then wash and rinse.

In a large pot over medium-high heat fill pot 3/4 of the way of water then add both ham hocks. Cook those for about 30 minutes. Then add the collard greens, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper and just cook them low and slow over medium-low heat....usually for a couple of hours!

Enjoy!!!!
