CLASSIC COLLARD GREENS

Potlikker, the flavorful broth at the bottom of a pot of collard greens, is delicious with cornbread, but you’ll want to save some for the Biscuits & Potlikker Gravy on page 12, too.

Makes about 6 servings

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups chopped sweet onion
2 pounds fresh collard greens, stemmed and chopped
1 smoked ham hock
2 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon green hot sauce
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add collard greens, in batches, stirring until wilted. Add ham hock, stock, hot sauce, and salt; cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until collards are tender, about 25 minutes. Remove

Cast Iron Care
Be sure to clean your pans as soon as they’re cool enough to handle. Scrub gently with a stiff-bristle brush or a non-scratch scouring pad. Water leads to rust, so avoid submerging your cast-iron cookware. As to whether to use soap— that’s up to you.
