Southern Style Mustard Greens
  

Ingredients

2 pounds mustard greens
2 ham hocks or pork shoulder
1 T salt
water (about 1 1/2 quarts)

  

There are many variations on how to cook mustard greens. Some folks add hot pepper flakes, onion, or garlic. Some recipes tell you to simmer them up to 2 hours, some suggest that 30 minutes is enough. Do what your mother told you or try this recipe...

Directions

  1. Wash 2 lbs of greens 3-4 times.

  2. Remove large stalks from greens; rip larger greens into pieces.

  3. Place ham hocks and salt in stock pot and cover with water; bring to boil, then cover and simmer 30 min.

  4. Add washed greens to pot a little at a time. Cover and simmer until tender, 45 min to an hour.
