How To Make boiled ham with greens - lacon con grelos

• Step 1
  If using cured hocks, soak them in cold water to cover for 24 hours in the refrigerator, then drain. If using fresh hocks or fresh ham on the bone, no need to soak.
• Step 2
  In a stockpot, cover meat with water to cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface, decrease the heat to medium-low, and cook for 2 hours, or until the meat begins to loosen from the bone. Make sure the meat is covered with water and add more if necessary.
• Step 3
  Remove meat from the pot, reserving the liquid, and set the meat aside. Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat. Add the greens, decrease the heat to medium, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the chorizo and potatoes and cook until the potatoes are tender.
• Step 4
  Cut the meat and the chorizos into small pieces and arrange them on a serving platter. Surround the meat and sausage with the potatoes and greens. Add salt and pepper to taste.
