ingredients
- 1 ham shank (it has more meat than a hock)
- 411.06 g can great northern beans
- 236.59 ml yellow onion, chopped
- 177.44 ml carrot, diced
- 177.44 ml celery, diced
- 4.92 ml hot sauce (more or less to taste)
- 4.92 ml dried chipotle powder (chipotle chile powder)
- 7.39 ml dried thyme
- 4.92 ml smoked paprika
- 2.46 ml dried basil
- 2.46 ml dried oregano
- 2 bay leaves
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 118.29 ml dry white wine
- 793.78 g chicken stock (which is 2 cans worth)
- 226.79 g collard greens, which is about 3 to 4 loosely packed cups, I actually used a prechopped mix that had collard, turnip
- salt and pepper (to taste)
directions
- Place smoked ham shank in crock pot.
- Open can of beans and rinse thoroughly. Place beans in a large bowl.
- Combine all of the ingredients with the beans (except for salt and pepper) and mix thoroughly. Pour over ham shank.
- Cover and cook on low for 7 - 8 hours. Remove ham shank from crock. Discard skin, fat and bone. Chop up remaining ham and put back into the crock. Add salt and pepper to taste and adjust any seasoning (more thyme, tobasco, paprika, etc). After adjusting I like to finish off by putting the cover back on and cooking for an additional 30 min on high just to let the adjusted flavor meld together. Remove bay leaves and discard. Portion into four bowls.
- I had a multigrain baguette that I cut into slices. I smeared each slice with a thin layer of goat cheese and we ate that with it. But I bet cornbread would be equally delicious.

I am waiting for my pic to be approved, however want to write my review...I just finished making this and while I like it a lot, the next time I'd fool around with the seasonings a lil bit. Wanted to try it exactly the first time so I'd know what to adjust. This is a wonderful twist on the traditional greens-n-meat pot.
