Collard Greens

[HD Lady]

Would anyone like to share their tried and true recipe for preparing collard greens?

I just boil them with some garlic salt and olive oil to taste. If it's New Year's Day, I use scored hog jowl instead of olive oil.

Make cornbread for sopping up the pot likker. I also like hot peppers in vinegar on the side. Hubby doesn't like collards, so when he's out of town on business, I have collards and cornbread for dinner.

Here's my cornbread recipe.

1 cup self-rising cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
8 ounces sour cream
1 (8 1/2 ounce) can cream-style corn

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine all ingredients and pour into a greased 9-inch cake pan. Cook for 30-40 minutes. Serves 6-8.
