Collard Greens
Collard greens slow-simmered with smoked ham hock in pot liquor until silky and deeply savory.
Why It Works
Long cooking breaks down the tough cellulose in collard leaves, making them silky; smoked pork and its rendered fat infuse the greens with umami; vinegar brightens the pot liquor.
