COLLARD GREENS
½ lb smoked meat
bunch collards
hot sauce to taste
salt, garlic, & pepper to taste
8 tbsp butter
Bring 3 qts water to boil. Add seasonings. Reduce to medium. Cut off thick stems only. You can strip leaves completely but our greens are young and tender right now. Stack and roll leaves, cutting into thin strips. Place in water with meat. Add butter. Cook 45-60 minutes. Great with a starch like corn bread. I have an easy, cakey recipe if anyone needs it.
