Collard Greens

I love a nice home-cooked meal on Sunday. So, today, I cooked some Collard Greens to go with my baked chicken and Macaroni & Cheese. It takes a few hours for the Collards to cook, but it's worth the wait when they're done. They're simple to cook, too.

Collard Greens

1 Ham Hock
1 pound package Cut N Clean Greens - Collard
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped onions
1 to 2 cloves chopped garlic, optional
Salt, pepper, cayenne pepper to taste

Place Ham Hock in large pot and cover half way with water. Add red pepper flakes and bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Cover with lid and cook about 45 minutes. Add Collard Greens and remaining ingredients and cook 45 minutes longer. Splash a little vingegar on top of greens before serving if desired.
