FRESH GREENS
(Collards-Mustard-Turnips)
 
Wash greens and pull from stem
Fresh garlic
Ham hocks or salt pork

Dice up garlic in pan with ham hocks or salt pork. Brown meat on both sides with a little shortening in pan. Add water 3/4 in the pan and simmer.

Add greens in the pot and put lid on so the greens will cook down in order to get all your greens in the pot (you might have to add more water to the pot so that your greens will stay moist - also you can add garlic, salt and pepper as they are cooking).

Greens are done when you can stick a fork through them and they feel or taste tender.
