Ingredients

DESCRIPTION

James' grandmother Mimi always added a knob of butter to her onions to boost the flavor as they browned in oil, and then simmered the greens slowly, adding water as needed to keep them submerged. For serving, James says, "I use my large, enameled cast-iron stew pot. It keeps the greens warm and offers a nice presentation."



INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small sweet onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 Tbsp.)
  • 1 smoked ham hock (about 12 oz.)
  • 3 (1-lb.) packages fresh collard greens, washed, trimmed, and cut into thin strips
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup diced jarred jalapeño peppers, drained (optional)
