For my Week #3 meal for the One Local Summer challenge I made collard greens and ham, loosely based on this recipe. The recipe called for ham hocks, but I used a ham steak. It said to cook it until the meat was falling off the bone, but since I didn’t have a bone, I cooked it until the ham steak was almost falling apart on it’s own.
I got the collard greens at Holbrook Farm and the ham steak was from Ox Hollow Farm, purchased at Maple Bank Farm. I got the hot pepper at Cherry Grove last summer and dried it.
I love collards, even though I know they seem to be an “acquired taste” for many people….
I tried to read/comment on your last post (Saturday’s Forage 6/10/09) but kept getting an error message that the post didn’t exist?
Hi Mango: Thanks for the heads-up. Some WordPress weirdness…I reposted it. It seems to be working now.
