      Great flavor - loved it. I can't get Collard greens here so I used Chinese Cabbage - worked really well. I served it with Fried Okra & Jambalaya Thanks, great meal

      Too salty. I'd recommend using the low sodium chicken broth.

      I used this recipe to make collard greens for the first time (my first time using ham hocks as well!) and they came out just perfect. I didn't even need to add any salt and pepper for additional seasoning. I did find I needed just a bit more liquid to cover my greens so just supplemented the chicken stock with some water. After cook time, I shredded bits of meat off the ham hocks and then removed the remaining bone. This will be my go-to recipe for collards!

      This was a good recipe. I only gave it 4 stars because my only criticism is that the direction are a bit vague. This was my first time dealing with collards and felt that there could have been a little more instruction. For example: I had no idea if the ham hock was to be used only for flavor or if I was supposed to do more with it. Wasn't sure if I chop up the leaves a little or leave them whole etc. All in all it was very easy and very tasty. Thank you for the recipe.

      Wow! First time I cooked collards that they came out the way I wanted. I did these in the crockpot, using SueL's recipe as inspiration, with MG's ingredients. Just delicious, and I thank you for a great recipe!

      I too was taught that collards needed sugar and a little vinegar. I've been cooking greens for almost 50 years and your recipe is proof that you CAN teach an old mutt new tricks!! I gave your recipe a go, and these are the best greens ever ( and I'm a greens eatin' fool). Thankyou. This will now be my greens recipe for the next 50 years :)

      A little sugar should always be added to collards because they have somewhat of a bitter taste without it. Also a few drops of white vingar boost the flavor of collards up. If the liquid doesn't cover your collards don't worry because collards and most other greens cook down or wilt a whole lot when they cook. These are just some suggestions to help the novice cook. I have been cooking greens over 20 years and I know what works. I stumbled on this recipe while looking at something else and decided to respond.

      Try this with smoked or fresh, turkey Legs or turkey tails if you can find them! This is a perfectly, easy and excellent, collard greens, recipe! This is definitely worth a try.

      Fantastic recipe! I forgot to use the bay leaf but I did add a small amount of crushed red pepper flakes for some heat. The "pot liqueur", as we call it in the south, is to die for.

      Mmmmmmmm.....good. I made this last night and we loved it. I cleaned the collards, stacked them up, rolled them up and chopped them in about 3/4 inch pieces. The broth is to die for, I was practically slurping it up....lol. I also chopped up the ham hocks about 30 minutes before they were done and added it back in. These have great flavor and we will make again.

      I'm originally from the South and this iis honestly one of the best recipes I have ever eaten for collard greens !! The only thing I added was some red pepper flakes as we like a bit of a "kick" in our greens. Thanks for posting this great recipe....

      What kind of rating does collard greens receive when your husband says, "Babe, I could eat these every day and never get tired of them if you could them this way every time!" I just adore my husband and his happiness means the world to me. So guess what-this gets 10 stars!! We are originally from the country where collard greens and cornbread are our roots!! This recipe exceeds the bar!

      These were really good! I boiled the greens first then saute'd the onion and garlic. Because I didn't have 3 hours I then added the greens to the saute added a can of chicken broth, bay leaves and S & P. Brought to a boil and cooked for another 30 minutes. YUMMY!!

      This is an excellent starter greens recipe. For those that are having a problem with it being too salty. The recipe calls for broth not bullion there is a significant difference in the two products. If you are on a diet where you must watch your sodium. It's perfectly fine to cut the broth with half water. It won't hurt the recipe.

      Delicious recipe! I used leftover ham rather than Hamhocks, which I have used in the past and add so much flavor:) Wonderful eating!!

      Good greens! We liked them, but thought they were a little salty.

      These were good, but kind of plain for us. I like them with a little more flavor. I found another recipe here that really packs some good taste without being hot, and I think I will stick with those. Thanks for sharing. Sheryl

      I love collard greens and eat them every chance I get when we go out to eat if they have them on the menu... but I had never thought of making them myself. So, I decided it was time to try... cross your fingers!!! This was a simple and mouth watering recipe. I did make a couple of changes... I was too lazy to clean the collards myself so I bought a huge bag of the pre cleaned/cut greens from the farmers market. I also used a smoked turkey wing instead of the ham hock. So delicious with a splash of vinegar! Not bitter at all... Thanks for sharing!
