An Assembly of Southern Greens Cooked in Pork Stock

1. 1

   Pour the smoked-pork stock into a large Dutch oven or heavy saucepan and bring to a boil.

2. 2

   Add the prepared greens in batches, waiting until the first batch wilts into the stock before adding more.

3. 3

   (This will seem like an enormous amount of greens, but they cook down considerably and quickly.)

4. 4

   Cook, uncovered, over high heat until the greens are just tender, about 1520 minutes.

5. 5

   Take care not to overcook the greens.

6. 6

   They should be silky and tender but still vibrant green in color.

7. 7

   During cooking, season as needed with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

8. 8

   Greens are served highly seasoned.

9. 9

   When they are done, use a slotted spoon or strainer to remove them from the pot, draining off any excess liquid, and serve hot.
