Ingredients
1½lbsfresh collard greensabout 24 cups chopped
1cupchicken broth
1ham hock
¼cupwhite vinegar
1sweet onion1 ½ cups diced in ½" dice
1Tablespoonminced garlicabout 3 large cloves minced
1teaspoonfine grind sea salt
½teaspoonblack pepper
Instructions
Wash and remove the 2-3" of stems from the collard greens.
Add 1 cup chicken broth, ham hock, ¼ cup vinegar, 1½ cups diced onion, 1 Tablespoon minced garlic, salt & pepper to the inner pot of the pressure cooker.
Chop the fresh collard greens into 4" pieces and add to the pot. Push them down if needed. The pot will be pretty full, but it reduces quite a bit when cooked.
Place the lid on the pressure cooker and turn the valve to seal. Set the pressure to high for 20 minutes. When the time is up, immediately release the pressure. Remove the lid. Remove the ham hock and let it cool.
Scoop out the collard greens into a serving bowl and pour over the liquid. When the ham hock is cool enough to handle, remove any bits of ham and add back into the collard greens. Ham hocks don't have a lot of meat, but I usually get a little bit.
It is hard to overcook collard greens, so if you aren't serving the greens right away, it is perfectly fine to let the pressure release naturally and stay on keep warm for a couple of hours until serving.
