 Categories: E., Veggies
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      1    Smoked ham hock
      6 oz Thick slab bacon, chopped
           (about 5 slices)
      2 tb Vegetable oil
    1/2 c  Chopped onion
      1 tb Chopped garlic
      1    12-ounce bottle beer
           Tabasco
           Salt and freshly-ground
           Black pepper
           Crushed red pepper
     16 c  Loosely-packed washed greens
           (such as kale, collard,
           Mustard and
           Beet)
 
  In a large heavy pot sweat ham hock and bacon in oil over medium-low
  heat until bacon begins to render some fat.  Add onions and garlic
  and saute until onion is tender, about 5 minutes.  Stir in beer and
  season with Tabasco, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper.  Bring to a
  boil and stir in greens, a large handful at a time.  When all greens
  are added, reduce heat to simmering, cover and cook until greens are
  very tender, about 15 minutes.  Taste and adjust seasoning before
  serving.
