Collard Greens And Ham Hocks - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lb. smoked ham hocks
1 c. chopped onion
1 Tbsp. garlic, chopped
Louisiana hot sauce or ground cayenne pepper to taste
2 tsp. salt
2 c. dry white wine (optional)
2 lb. collard greens or other greens, rinsed and chopped
2 Tbsp. soy sauce

Preparation

Put ham hocks, onion, garlic and hot sauce in an 8-quart pot with enough water to cover ham hocks.
Cover and cook over medium heat until water comes to a boil.
After it begins to boil, remove the lid and let boil for 5 more minutes.
Stir in the salt (wine) and greens, then add the soy sauce and stir again; cover, then turn heat to low and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
If necessary, add more water so that greens don't stick.
Yields 4 to 6 servings.
