Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Pork Shank

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pork shank and brown it on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.

2

Sauté the Aromatics

Remove the pork shank and set it aside. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3

Combine Ingredients

Return the pork shank to the pot. Add the collard greens, chicken broth, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.

4

Cook the Greens

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 45-60 minutes, or until the collard greens are tender and the pork is cooked through.

5

Finish with Vinegar

Stir in the apple cider vinegar just before serving to enhance the flavor.
