I have always eaten greens of every kind. Instead of using pork, I use smoked turkey. I cook large amounts of collard greens at a time, about 3 lbs. In a 5 quart stock pot I put 1 quart of water, 2 large cooking onions, chopped, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 lb smoked turkey parts. Let this come to a boil and add your prepared greens (washed and cut into about 2 inch pieces). Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmering flame, check water and add as necessary to keep greens covered. I always keep my teapot of boiling water on the stove to add water as necessary. I like my greens well cooked and tender. If you like okra and/or bell pepper add those after greens have been cooking for 1 hour. Cook an additional 15 minutes or until tender to your taste.
