Collard Greens And Cabbage - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 medium ham hocks
1 onion, chopped
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
garlic powder, to taste
4 bunches collard greens, cleaned and cut
1 head cabbage, cleaned and cut up

Preparation

Add the bacon fat to a large stock pot.
If you don't save your bacon fat, fry up a few slices of bacon in the pot you are going to cook your greens in; leave the bacon and fat.
Add your ham hocks to the pot, cover with water, onion and spices.
Boil for about an hour.
Add cleaned and cut collards to the pot, cover and cook until tender (45 minutes to an hour, less if you like them less cooked).
Add the cabbage at the very end and cook until wilted or to your desired taste.
Remove bones and fat of the ham hocks.
