4 bunches collard greens
2 lg. ham hocks
1 med. onion
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp. crushed red pepper

Remove leaves from stems of collard greens and discard stems. Wash thoroughly insuring all grit and grime has been removed from the greens. Wash ham hocks and boil with chopped onion until almost done. (Do this ahead of time making sure meat has cooked long enough.) Add greens, salt, and pepper and crushed red pepper to ham hocks. Bring greens to a boil, reduce heat and cook until greens are tender. Serve with your favorite meat dish or cornbread.
