For an even richer flavor, consider browning the ham hocks in a skillet before adding them to the pot. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a delightful hint of spice. These collard greens are even better the next day, as the flavors meld together beautifully. Serve with hot sauce for an extra kick.
