What do you put in collard greens?

Collard greens are typically seasoned with ingredients like smoked meat (such as ham hocks or turkey), onion, garlic, and spices like red pepper flakes or black pepper. Some recipes also include broth or vinegar for added flavor. Additionally, you can incorporate vegetables like bell peppers or tomatoes, depending on regional variations. Cooking them slowly helps to tenderize the leaves and enhance the flavors.
