The following recipe was first featured in Boston Organics Newsletter number 19 of the year 2011, which you should be able to find online at http://www.bostonorganics.com/newsletter/2011/news_19.html.
1 bunch collard greens1/2 lb meat, like a smoked ham hock or jowl, or smoked turkey wings1 tbsp preferred hot sauce1 tbsp butter1/2 tsp black pepper1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp salt, plus 1/2 tbsp
Boil 3 quarts of water in a large pot, add meat, pepper, garlic powder, 1/2 tbsp salt, and hot sauce. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 1 hour. Wash your greens and remove the center stems by hand or with a sharp knife. Cut the collards into inch-wide pieces by rolling multiple leaves together and cutting the roll (a good way to cut all greens!). After your hour passes, add the collards and butter to the water. Cook for 45 to 60 minutes. Adjust seasoning and serve!
