Collard Greens With Smoked Ham Hocks

1/5/14

Tender collard greens, with slow cooked falling off the bone tender ham hocks…

It’s no secret that I love greens. I have many green recipes available here on my blog. I’ve use many smoked meats to season the greens. I’ve shared my smoked turkey and collard, and even a recipe with salt pork. This is actually my first time sharing my greens and ham hocks recipe.

I love ham hocks, but I don’t like cooking them the traditional way which os on the stove top, because that  takes too long. I personally like my ham hocks to be extremely tender. Over the years, I’ve been using my CrockPot to cook my ham hocks. Using a slow cooker for ham hocks, is a fool proof method. You simply can not mess up! As long as you have ham hocks, water, and a slow cooker- you will be fine! The ham hocks ALWAYS come out tender, and they form a broth in the slow cooker. You can reserve the broth for the greens instead of using an additional broth!

Check out my recipe below!

    I have submitted my e-mail address several times but never get any of your recipes unless I go to your web site. Would like to be notified of new recipes at my e-mail . I have tried several of your recipes from your web page and they are really good.
