Southern Braised Greens (gf) Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prep the Greens

   Wash the collard greens thoroughly under cold running water. Remove the stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

   Add the Tasso Ham

   Stir in the tasso ham and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it starts to brown slightly and release its flavors.

4. 4

   Combine and Simmer

   Add the collard greens to the pot, followed by the chicken broth and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover.

5. 5

   Braised Greens

   Let the greens simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until they are tender. Stir occasionally and add salt and black pepper to taste.
