[@lisawhite3825]

Well I want to let you know that I made these Green's Thanksgiving and it was so delicious my family went to drink the juice from the greens they pulled it over some cornbread when all the greens was gone so I just want to thank you LOL.

[@gwendolynedmond5887]

I made these collard greens a week ago and you are truly a man of your word because they were the best I've ever cooked in fact making them again for a dinner party this weekend! Will continue making them this way! The Best I say the Best!!!Thank you!

[@jasmineherring7991]

Omg !!! I just cooked the same way step by step !! And it was so freaking good .. it took all day but it was worth the wait !! I even added way more greens and more chicken broth !! Forget y’all haters this was bomb !! It still wasn’t like my grandmas but it was the best I’ve tasted since she passes away ♥️🙌

[@jamessanders2073]

I'm new to the sight but have made a lot of your dishes. God bless you. You have saved me many times.

[@wbrown4033]

Your greens looks great PhillyboyJayCookiNgShow, I can't say they are the best ever or aren't the best ever, we all have different taste buds, all I can say is keep on cooking, and enjoy doing it. I love cooking greens too, using the right meat will flavor the greens, salted & smoked meats are the best to season any greens. It also depends on where you are from, I'm from the Eastern part of North Carolina. Us real southern country folks do not use garlic powder, onion powder, Lawry's seasoned salt, boullon cubes, we do add a little sugar to the pot of greens, sugar helps blend the flavors together. We do not add chicken broth, we use the broth from the meats that's cooking with the greens in the same pot. Fried meat grease, bacon and ham drippings/grease helps with seasoning the greens too. We use crushed red peppers, fresh green or red cayenne peppers cut up real small to put on the greens after they are done cooking, and sometimes we uses green bell peppers on the greens after the greens are done cooking. The way you are using green peppers, red peppers and onions in your greens, they will bring out the flavor for cabbages better, all you will need is a little bacon grease, and no water, stew fry them for about 15 to 20 min and Wow, it's so good. You get better flavor from the onions, green & red peppers when they are not over cooked. It takes 30 min. to 4 hours to cook collard greens. Here's the reason why, if the frost hit them in the fall, it takes only 30 min. to an hour to cook if they are old fashioned cabbage collards, if they are the dark green Georgia collards, they will take longer. It takes longer to cook collards in the spring and summer, depends on what kind of collards you have. All collards do not taste the same, you need to know what kind you're buying. If you cook collards for 1 to 4 hours, they will not be mushy, like I said, it depends on what kind you are using and the time of year you're cooking them. If you cut up a full cup of green onion tops and bottom, cover it with apple cider vinegar and add a dash of sugar, it's good on cabbages, salat, mustard greens and turnip greens, try it. I'm hoping one day we can share our recipes, be blessed. One more thing, the meat that you are using is called smoked pig knuckles/shanks, they taste better in pinto beans, ham hocks is the left over bottom part from the country ham. Living in the city, they call them ham hocks. The best pork seasoning meats for greens are salted/corned pig tails, salted pork belly & fat back, corned back bone, ham hock, bacon, ham bits and corned hog head, that's what you call real seasoning for greens. I don't use smoked turkey product, if I'm going to eat greens, give me pork.

[@pathowell1904]

So good I’m from Georgia we eat greens everyday yours look so good I could lick my phone we need taste a phone keep cooking I’m 74 and love greens bless u son

[@jadawhitley8655]

[@shay2shaymd]

Cooked this today for New Years Day. My family loved it. This is the fourth dish of yours that I've made and my family loves all of them.

[@polyking87]

Been making this for 6 years. Every year i get more and more people wanting me to make them a batch haha. Thank you.

[@CookingWithKiana]

I made to this to the T seasoning amounts and all. Only difference is I did half hog water and half chicken stock... but let me tell you them greens was everything. I got my ham in the fridge marinating right now as we speak can’t wait to see how it’s going to turn out.

[@krysthalacosta9246]

These greens taste like what my grandmother God rest her soul would have made. Best greens I ever had/ made thank you. Man you know what your doing😊😊😊😊😊

[@TeLewiss]

[@chanazz1]

[@jo3433]

My mama followed some of your recipe for her New year greens and boy.... They were on hit. I'm gonna take what I can from this! Thanks

[@bobmoore6151]

Sounds great. Going to cook this tomorrow with pinto beans and cornbread. I really like the idea of using the stems and adding the peppers. Thank you.

[@TeeDavis822]

Made these for Thanksgiving and making again for New Year.. they really are amazing

[@noice951]

I made these yesterday. Let them sit in the fridge overnight and the family tore them up today! They said they were the best EVER!! I added another half cup of white vinegar at the end. Bomb! I will look forward to your recipes now!

[@Trishagram]

I cannot believe how he doing that. He needs to move to South Carolina. No stems in my collards plus the first step is washing. Then cut the stems out and put several leaves together roll and cut thin. So much more to this and they are great. They are very easy to season.

[@jashaundacollins6391]

My heart smiles everytime I hear you say the best 💜

[@headchefmomkendalllawrence693]

I love that you used the stems!

[@KAMALAISHERNAME]

What's sad is that back in the day, smoked ham hocks/or neckbones would've taken that long to cook, but NOW, they're actually falling off the bone in an hour and some change (on the stove in a regular pot) which let's me know that these factories are doing something to the meat causing it to decrease the cooking time. That alone made me stop using those meats. It's the same with the raw dried beans. I cooked some kidney beans the other day, & when I tell you that they nearly turned to MUSH in UNDER AN HOUR....I AIN'T LYING. Beans SHOULD NOT cook that fast unless they're in a pressure cooker. All in all, this recipe & ALL YOUR VIDEOS ARE FABULOUS!

[@qarreeayantumekonnen1205]

@THE READ QUEEN That’s because it’s GMO. Nothing is natural anymore. Unless it’s anywhere outside of USA, it’s sad.

[@lokoforjustinbieber]

🙀🙀😳 :O I need to know more

[@thefreckledafrikan]

Ain’t that something!

[@bobbybrooks5846]

[@CHANTIP]

you are so right, THE WORLD BEST !

[@tiffanymarie7426]

I made these for thanksgiving yesterday they were delicious thank you for sharing your talent with us

[@theresaanderson4096]

My only comment is i would have left the stems and used the broth from the ham hocks in my opinion is better than using another broth. you put the greens in the pt with the ham hocks once they have cooked to me is the best.

[@eileenlaunonen6887]

These are by far the BEST I have ever had!!!!!!!

[@missd7687]

It looks like a bouquet of deliciousness!

[@TechJourneywithCandyce]

[@tmelanie2815]

I’m going follow your recipe to the “t” I’ve never been disappointed with one of your recipe. TFS can’t wait to try these greens ☺️

[@bobbiegilmore6804]

If you use the stock you probably wont need so much salt or butter to try to flavor the greens. I am not sure what purpose the stems served. But the greens look good. Everyone has there own way of making greens good!

[@glendajohnson7124]

The stems carry a huge amount of vitamins, nutrients and fiber, so keeping them is a health bonus

[@brittanibrown2636]

Yesss I always use this

[@Quayb24]

I love philly boy he keeps it so real

[@skyer8202]

This is how my nana used to make it :) BUT she used half chicken stock, half hock water :)

[@demetriusbrown5542]

I know you’ll never see this but let me tell you something.. THIS IS THE BEST COLLARD GREENS I have EVER MADE.. its so flavorful. i’ve tried other recipes but this one is by far the best EVER! i think it’s the apple cider vinegar..

[@PaulDGreen-bu4iz]

Great recipe that I'm going to try! One question, do you worry about little pieces of bone that comes from the smoked ham hocks being in the collards? If so, how do you handle that? There's nothing worse then biting a piece of little bone and break a tooth! Thanks for sharing your recipe and talent!

[@georgethomas9436]

Love your recipes. Best I've seen yet.

[@jedallen9171]

I wouldn't use bell peppers of any kind though but I will have to try this

[@msbowlsonlovinglife891]

ham shanks flavor the water very well so that you won't have to use so much salt but this is a good recipe an i will try it

[@yolandagrabowski6043]

[@mzmaryd6452]

15 -30 min you wash until clean until sink doesn’t feel like sand at bottoms. Buy 3 nice pretty bunches.
