This is for a diversified rotary diet.
Ingredients:
5 slices bacon, cut up
1 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pepper
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 bunches collard greens, stems removed
1 1/2 cups beef stock
1 ham hock
Directions:
1. Wash collard greens and remove stems. Place in crock pot on low.
2. In a skillet, cook bacon pieces until crispy.
3. Add onion, garlic, salt and pepper and cook until onions are translucent.
4. Add the brown sugar and cook for about 1 minute more.
5. Add the bacon / onion mixture to the crock pot.
6. Pour in the beef stock.
7. Add the ham hock.
8. Cook on low for 4 hours.
9. After 4 hours, remove the ham hock and shred the meat off the bone, adding it back to the crock pot.
10. Keep cooking on low for another 3-4 hours and serve.
11. This will not be bitter, so no vinegar or extra sugar is needed. If you aren't on a rotation diet and you can use other seasonings, I'd suggest using a teaspoon of Tony Cachere's in place of the salt.
