Collard  Greens

 
 
 1 large bunch Collard Green leaves
 2  tbl  Oil
         Salt & Pepper [to taste]

         Bacon grease
         End scraps from baked ham bone
  
 
 

Thoroughly wash leaves in cold water in the sink to remove all dirt.

Place about three leaves together, roll up, and cut into 1 inch strips.

Chop again across previous cut so that you now have about 1" cut squares.

Cook covered in a small amount of salt water.

Add two tablespoons of Oil, Salt and Pepper to taste.

Cook for 30 to 40 minutes.
 
 

 SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

Serve with braised, thinly cut pork chops & rice with red-eye tomato gravy.

A quarter inch thick ham slice, instead of the pork chop is also very good.
 
 
 

TIPS FROM THE KITCHEN:

Bacon grease or ham bone scraps may be used optionally instead of vegetable oil.

Gives them a great flavor !
