Quick Collard Greens
This quicker take on collard greens has as much deep flavor as traditional long-simmering recipes. Make Skillet Cornbread to soak up the tasty "pot likker."

Love my greens, slice into the ham hock gets more flavor. Cleaning collards is easier & makes them tender and less stringier. Fold the collard leaf in 1/2, then pull the stem up like a zipper. It removes the spines stalk & some veins from the leaf that make it to stringy to some folks, big turn off to texture. Also add 1tsp-1Tbsp sugar. Makes them less bitter.
