Chef's Notes
Do not skip searing the onions! That initial char builds the foundational depth of flavor that separates amateur greens from a royal triumph.
Pro Tip
Always simmer the ham hock thoroughly before adding the greens so the collagen breaks down into a silky, velvety pot liquor.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to wash your greens thoroughly will result in a gritty, sand-filled disaster that will make your honored guests feel like they are chewing on a beach towel.

I asked the chef why we spend two hours cooking these leaves, and he said, 'Patience is a virtue, but hunger is an emergency!'
The Culinary Science
Slow-cooking collard greens in an acidic broth helps break down tough plant cell walls, releasing trapped natural sugars and softening the fibrous leaves.
