AB - Awesome video!! I do my greens in a crock pot on low overnight! Same ingredients you used and they are always a hit at the dinner table!! Smoked turkey legs are the bomb for collard greens!! I grew up in the south and mom & grandma always used pork (fatback, ham hocks, etc).

Its the sensitive dishes I'm learning the most from you. Like REAL collard greens, black eye peas, southern cabbage and sausage. And the two most critical dishes among black people - Potato Salad and Macaroni & Cheese!! But with your help, I know I'm gonna get there! You the man AB!!

[@StygianStilettosGamer]

This is how my mom taught me to cook mine. It's amazing how southern folks all have the same recipes and none of them from a book ❤️ haha!

[@ashabrazzle999]

This is exactly how my grandmother taught me to cook greens except for discarding the stems we love those they get real tender when you simmer greens low and slow and they hold a lot of valuable nutrients plus my grandma always used a mixture of mustards collards turnips and spinach and ham hocks with turkey neck and a whole lotta onion and garlic. I just use smoked turkey drums instead of ham hocks and turkey neck these days and it’s equally as good 😊

[@johannaottervanger9576]

And saving those big stems is nice for making home broth

[@Ms.Byrd68]

Thank you because my Granddad was a 'farmer' and most of his kids raised their kids on the land and I don't remember my Aunt ever 'deveining' her Collards. The 'stems' soften and eat like 'Rutabagas'. Or Turnips.

[@TheCRYSTALLURE]

I thought it was just me. I loveee the stems when they get tender. 😩

[@jerryjohnson217]

Exactly Ashley, my mom used to use the salt meat with the titty on it, of course I just use smoked turkey now, however I don’t use the chicken stock because that’s a lot of additional sodium and it’s not needed with the smoked turkey the flavor of the greens is gonna take on that smoke turkey, that backdrop flavor, also I don’t use the pepper flakes (though you surely can) I use a real jalapeño (Again always adding the nutrients when possible) and I like to cut it up kind of small or you can drop it in. I do that for my beans and sometimes my greens and the way he washes them, we wash ours from sink to sink and we don’t use the feel fingertip method, we make sure that they’re clean…by draining the water slowly after you cleared the sink, feel the bottom of the sink, if it’s clean and squeaky so are the greens, if it has dirt and grit in the bottom of the sink, your greens🥬 does as well…that process usually takes somewhere between 3 to 5 rinses from sink to sink, depending on where you got the greens and were they planted or did you purchase those from the store, but also when we pick them in the kitchen..we’re looking for 🐞 bugs and 🐛 worms on them, so we actually picked them in the kitchen, when you are breaking down that steam a little bit… but I’m with you, for the most part, we roll them and cut them and keep the stem and cook those too, because that’s where the lifeline of the nutrients are.

I use a little apple cider vinegar in my cooking asking with red pepper flakes for heat. Another Great Video, thanks🍴
