• 2 lbs ham steaks, chopped
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 medium onions, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 6 red potatoes, diced

• 2 cups water
• 1/2 cup vermouth

1. Bring collard greens and water to cover to a boil in a large Dutch Oven. Remove from heat; drain. Repeat the process if you are boiling in batches.
2. Toss together the ham and hot sauce; cook in hot oil in the Dutch Oven over medium-high heat 8 to 10 minutes or until browned (while the collards are draining). Add the onion and garlic; saute until tender.
