My favorite restaurant stopped serving collard greens recently so I’ve been searching for an IP recipe whose ingredients list makes sense to my mental palate. Yours is right on. I can tell the pot liquor you create is well-balanced with flavors versus some recipes that clearly will be much too sweet or much too tangy. This is the recipe I will make tomorrow and adapt to my tastes if needed. Great job and thank you for the hard work it takes to produce these videos.
I wish I had found your video. I have been making collards like this on the stove for years, but it took me forever to figure out how to adapt it to the Instant Pot!! You would have saved me a lot headaches and a lot of burn messages!!
Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe! I used a smoked turkey leg instead of the hock, red pepper flakes because I didn't have a jalapeno, and I only had a pound of "ready to cook" greens. Oh my! It truly was the best bowl of greens that I have ever had!
I used smoked turkey wings and I also like smoked turkey legs too. I also make a pepper sauce and I don’t use sugar in my greens. I got to have cornbread as well.
“Ok, once the bacon grease COOPERATES and melt.” 😂 The struggle is real! I love it! Best video for this kind of recipe I have seen yet. Very precise. I will try this! Thanks!
Very good video. I especially like how you pay special attention to the details. It especially helps seeing exactly how much the collards shrink down. I will make my fresh green beans the exact same way. Between collards and green beans, both with ham or bacon or ham hocks or smoked turkey, I could live on just this for the rest of my life! Thank you!!!!
I've been looking for vegetable recipes for my new "CrockPot Multi-Cooker". This recipe is first on my list to try. Glad I watched your video first before I messed up the dish. I thought the hock would have to cook first, before the greens.
I love greens and pork and turkey tails, but most of all I love the stargate episode playing in the background or stargate generally.... so I’m going to buy an Insta cook and make greens and watch stargate
What you did with the flavorful parts of the ham hock was a sin against flavor, but I totally get it.... lol. Otherwise, you made a beautiful pot of greens,... hats off to you for a lovely job. Well done!
Great I like to cook mine for 25-30 minutes. If I use ham hock or smoke turkey. I might cook them separately for 30 minutes rinse it off and then put it in with my collars for another 25-30 minutes!
Excellent job! Looks so good! Ill use your recipe and ill be sure to get back to you about how it turns out. Next time tell family to go shopping or ho somewhere so you dont get that noise while filming.
Excellent video with overhead filming & clear concise instructions & visual. I will have to see if have that Adobo seasoning. I am wondering if it would still be good if I don't. Going to check out your other videos. :-)
Adobo is a Latin seasoning and can be found in many grocery stores including Walmart. It's a really tasty season all. A description from the web; Adobo seasoning is a mixture of garlic and other spices that is often used to season meats, beans, soups, and other dishes in Latin American, Caribbean, and Filipino cuisines. In my kitchen, it is a general all-purpose seasoning that I add to meats, soups, seafood, eggs, roasted vegetables, and many other dishes.
Good info but I skip a lot of your steps. I don't find collards bitter at all. I never soak them for all that time and never add sugar. Other than that, I appreciate the info and also the fact that you didn't feel the need to chatter at us as if we wanted entertainment!
Made this and found it a bit salty for my taste. I don't know if it's the salt water for soaking (rinsed it twice after soaking) or the country ham pieces I used. I'll have to find a way of cutting down the salt next time.
Absolutely Amazing and Easy To Make Instant Pot Collard Greens! 2-1/2 cups chicken broth 1 Tbsp white sugar 1-1/2 Tsp minced garlic 1-1/2 Tsp Adobo seasoning 1 Tbsp bacon grease 1 jalapeno pepper sliced including seeds (removes seeds and membrane for less heat 1/2 Tsp black pepper 1 Medium onion chopped med 1 smoked ham hocks 1-1/2 Tsp apple cider vinegar (correction, my notes say 1-1/2 Tbsp not Tsp) 2 bunches of collard greens about 4lb before removing stems Remove the stem from the leaves by cutting a couple of inches after the leaf starts on the stem and discard the lower leafless stem. Cut the leaves into 2 inch pieces and soak in clean salt water for an hour to clean them (I used my freshly cleaned sink). Once the water has a green hue to it, lift the leaves out carefully not to disturb any dirt/sand that has fallen to the bottom of the water. Place them in a colander to drain, and set aside. Set the Instant Pot to sauté, melt the bacon fat, and cook the onions until translucent and have browned/caramelized a little. Now add the chicken broth, sliced jalapeno, black pepper, Adobo seasoning, minced garlic, white sugar, apple cider vinegar, and stir to mix. You will have a huge pile of greens so you may need to wilt them down using the sauté mode to get them all in. Just add as much collard greens as you can to the Instant Pot, close the lid with the vent OPEN and let it cook for about 5 to 10 minutes so the collard greens wilt down, then add more collard green pressing them down. Repeat this process until you have all the collard greens in the Instant Pot. Now add the smoked ham hock to the bottom of the pot under the greens and process on high for 1 hour. These greens are very tender so if you prefer a little more chew to your greens then process for 45 min. I found it easier to wilt the greens without the ham hocks (more room). Once the 1 hour is up do a quick release and open the lid, remove the smoked ham hocks, remove the meat from the bones and return the meat to the pot discarding the bones. Stir and eat!
It's easy, don't be scared. There are so many UA-cam videos; just type in Instant Pot beginner and all kinds of recipes pop up. You can't get hurt; there are safety features built in. You can not open the lid until all the pressure/steam is vented out. The pot won't let you take the lid off of it if there's still steam in the pot!
No problem. This is just the way I like them and to me the pot liquor is the best! You can use less chicken broth and only cook for 35 to 45 min depending on how al dente that you like them. Thanks for commenting.
Wonderful Recipe. 1st time I've made collard greens and ham hocks in the instant pot. Was very impressedThank you for sharing.
spot on!!! great job!!
I used your recipe and cooked collards in insta pot . I had never cooked them in one . Best recipe ever . Thank you for sharing
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed them!
Man this is making me so hungry right now! Some good collard greens are my favorite food
I've made your recipe twice now with little spice tweaks. Both times have been the best greens I've ever had. Thanks!
I'm glad you like them!
I have to say, your recipe is spot on! I’ve used it three times now using mustard greens and collard greens. Both worked great. Nice job!
Thank you. I'm glad that you like them!
I love your seriousness as your family is doing their thing. Very professional! 🤛👏

The instant pot is good for these greens. I love it ❤
Fresh, clean greens! Thank you for the video.

This looks so good. Grandma alway kept some homemade cayenne pepper sauce on her table. Makes it so good.
I like the way you cooked the greens in the Instant Pot and will try that with my greens the next time I get ready to cook some.
Very good video. I especially like how you pay special attention to the details. It especially helps seeing exactly how much the collards shrink down. I will make my fresh green beans the exact same way. Between collards and green beans, both with ham or bacon or ham hocks or smoked turkey, I could live on just this for the rest of my life!

Omgdness this looks delicious and I've been cooking greens for years. I just purchased an Instant Pot and can't WAIT to try this!!! Bon appetite!!
Best recipe (I use red pepper but jalapeno good too) and excellent, concise video! Yeah - you need cornbread with that too! LOL! Thanks!
Thank you for including your recipe in the description
I do the same thing look at several videos and then do my own little twist! Lol It's Looks delicious thank you so much for sharing
Nice recipe. I’m going to try this in a crock pot. Thank you for sharing.
Loved you video, I cooked my collards and mustard greens right along with you, waiting for them to cook. Thank you❤️❤️
Excellently what I was looking for in my instant pot. That you
💕 Love your recipe. I made my collards the same, but I used Lawry’s seasoning and red pepper flakes
Thank you, I'm glad that you like it.
Next time try the Adobo seasoning! Great stuff.
That looks good, i want some.....i am going to try this.....thank you
I've been looking for vegetable recipes for my new "CrockPot Multi-Cooker". This recipe is first on my list to try. Glad I watched your video first before I messed up the dish. I thought the hock would have to cook first, before the greens.
You did them collards justice!!!😎😎
Mouthwatering !!!!
This is the best recipe and of course everyone thinks I am the best cook my secret recipe and I am always so puffed up about it. LOL. Thank you!
It looks good and you did make look simple and easy. Now I don't eat pork so I substitute it with smoke turkey and it's just as good.
Made this the other day and they turned out great. Thank you for sharing
Joel Benson Excellent, thank you for trying my recipe and I'm glad you liked it.
I love greens and pork and turkey tails, but most of all I love the stargate episode playing in the background or stargate generally.... so I’m going to buy an Insta cook and make greens and watch stargate
Looks delicious 😋.
Nice trick to make more room....Thanks for sharing....Cheers Jeff
I was trying to figure out how to get all the collards cooked at once. Thanks for the info
Enjoy
You need some cornbread with that 😋
What you did with the flavorful parts of the ham hock was a sin against flavor, but I totally get it.... lol. Otherwise, you made a beautiful pot of greens,... hats off to you for a lovely job. Well done!
Drooling! Doing this for Thanksgiving!
Great I like to cook mine for 25-30 minutes. If I use ham hock or smoke turkey. I might cook them separately for 30 minutes rinse it off and then put it in with my collars for another 25-30 minutes!
Thanks for mentioning the size of your instant pot. Most if the instant pot videos don’t.
Excellent job! Looks so good! Ill use your recipe and ill be sure to get back to you about how it turns out. Next time tell family to go shopping or ho somewhere so you dont get that noise while filming.
Looks good
Excellent video with overhead filming & clear concise instructions & visual. I will have to see if have that Adobo seasoning. I am wondering if it would still be good if I don't. Going to check out your other videos. :-)

Save the stems and other discarded greens to make vegetable stock. You can freeze them.
I'm so gunna make this tomorrow. Can I use Turnips and Mustard greens Instead of Collard
Use what you like and let us know how it turned out.
Excellent job!!!
Just like I would make them. My only difference is I add hot sauce instead of jalapeños and chopped cooked bacon in the end. Bon appetit!
Not going to lie dude you put your foot in those greens 👍🏼
Very good video. You should wash your greens at least 3x's.
Toni Renfroe Right
Looks delicious!
Nice.
I hit the like button im so happy i didn't see any animal's in your kitchen while you preparing something to feed your family........
Look very tasty, recipe is very similar to mine.
Mmm!🤪I' be right over!
Awesome Video! I needed this today! How'd you cook the meat prior to adding to InstaPot tho? I didn't see that on the video....🤔
They are pre-cooked smoked ham hocks that you buy at the grocery store. When you cook them with the greens they get to fall apart tender.
@@glock36me ahh. I thought you still cooked them.1st. Thanks !
Takes a good frost on collard greens before you cut them out the garden. Takes out some of the bitterness.
Good info but I skip a lot of your steps. I don't find collards bitter at all. I never soak them for all that time and never add sugar. Other than that, I appreciate the info and also the fact that you didn't feel the need to chatter at us as if we wanted entertainment!

Country ham is very salty. That would be the reason. My dad loves country ham but I can't eat it because it is like a salt lick to me.
@@glock36me Thanks. I tried to find smoked turkey, but the stores didn't have what I wanted.
Wow, one hour, that’s just the way I like them,,,
I did something similar in my 4qt instant pot but I used smoked turkey leg meat... It wouldn't fit in my small pot.
Won’t the instant pot soften the stems
What’s the measurements for Apple cider?
Absolutely Amazing and Easy To Make Instant Pot Collard Greens!
2-1/2 cups chicken broth
1 Tbsp white sugar
1-1/2 Tsp minced garlic
1-1/2 Tsp Adobo seasoning
1 Tbsp bacon grease
1 jalapeno pepper sliced including seeds (removes seeds and membrane for less heat
1/2 Tsp black pepper
1 Medium onion chopped med
1 smoked ham hocks
1-1/2 Tsp apple cider vinegar (correction, my notes say 1-1/2 Tbsp not Tsp)
2 bunches of collard greens about 4lb before removing stems
Remove the stem from the leaves by cutting a couple of inches after the leaf starts on the stem and discard the lower leafless stem. Cut the leaves into 2 inch pieces and soak in clean salt water for an hour to clean them (I used my freshly cleaned sink). Once the water has a green hue to it, lift the leaves out carefully not to disturb any dirt/sand that has fallen to the bottom of the water. Place them in a colander to drain, and set aside.

Once the 1 hour is up do a quick release and open the lid, remove the smoked ham hocks, remove the meat from the bones and return the meat to the pot discarding the bones. Stir and eat!
Greens look good...but you should remove the yellow greens, they are normally discarded....😋
Cutting them that way takes way too long. I fold the leaf in half at the stem cut with kitchen scissors and it’s so much easier!
Turn off the background TV!!!
I am nervous 😬 about my new Instant Pot
It's easy, don't be scared. There are so many UA-cam videos; just type in Instant Pot beginner and all kinds of recipes pop up. You can't get hurt; there are safety features built in.

Where's your CORNBREAD
Next time give me your trimmings!
It looks like soup to soft to much liquid.
No problem. This is just the way I like them and to me the pot liquor is the best! You can use less chicken broth and only cook for 35 to 45 min depending on how al dente that you like them. Thanks for commenting.
I don't have to try this recipe. I know it turned out delicious.
