🌿✨ Smothered greens, the ultimate soul-warming comfort food. Each bite, a heartfelt embrace. 💚🍲 My recipe, a symphony of flavors, will have you feeling truly blessed.
Ingredients:
- 2 large bunches of greens of your choice
- 1 large onion, diced
- 5 cloves garlic
- 6 smoked turkey necks
- 2 pieces of salted pork
- 1 ham shank
- 1 quart chicken stock
- 2 cups water
- Boudreaux's Lil' Bit Better Creole Seasoning
- Light olive oil
Directions:
- Start by browning the salted meat on all sides in a drizzle of light olive oil.
- Add in the diced onions and cook until they become soft and translucent. Then, introduce the garlic and continue to cook for an additional 3 minutes, using a spoon to scrape up any delicious browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Pour in the chicken stock and water, giving it a gentle seasoning.
- Add the smoked turkey necks and ham shank to the pot and allow them to simmer until all the meats turn tender. This will take approximately 2.5 to 3 hours.
- While the meats simmer, prepare the greens by removing the stalks and chopping them up. Thoroughly wash them to remove any lingering dirt.
- Once the meats are tender, remove them from the liquid and carefully debone them. Discard all bones, fat, and any unwanted bits.
- Return the deboned meat to the pot and season everything to taste with Boudreaux's Lil Bit Better Creole Seasoning.
- Add the prepared greens to the pot and continue to cook until they turn tender, which should take approximately 30 more minutes.
Savor the heartwarming goodness of these super meaty greens with their incredible pot liquor. It's comfort food at its finest. 💚🍲✨
