Remove ham hock after cooking for the 45 mins and set aside to cool.

Add onion mixture and collard greens to the boiling ham broth (add another cup of water if the water looks low). Stir collard greens down into liquid, cover and reduce heat to low and boil gently for 45 mins.

Mean while when ham hock is cool enough to handle, chop up the meat on the bone and return to pot. Keep out the bones at this time.

Cook greens a total of 3-4 hrs adding water if necessary.

The longer you cook the greens the less bitter tasting they will taste. They need to be slow cooked.
