Cooked low and slow with smoky ham hocks, these greens are tender, flavorful, and a bit earthy. They\u2019re not just a side dish; they\u2019re a symbol of prosperity and health in the coming year.<\/p>\n<p>The secret to great collard greens is patience. Let them simmer until they\u2019re perfectly soft and infused with all the flavors from the meat and spices. Serve them alongside your favorite protein for a complete meal, or enjoy them solo with cornbread for a comforting treat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kick off the New Year with these seven easy and mouth-watering recipes that will set the perfect tone for a delicious year ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":548599,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":17,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3627],"tags":[19519,530,596,3909,19518,708,19520,1076],"internal_tag":[24707],"class_list":["post-161117","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-year","tag-collard-greens-preparation","tag-comfort-foods","tag-culinary-practices","tag-holiday-meals","tag-new-years-day-recipes","tag-recipe-types","tag-sweet-potato-hash","tag-traditional-dishes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostrali.com\/foodr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostrali.com\/foodr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostrali.com\/foodr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostrali.com\/foodr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostrali.com\/foodr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=161117"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ostrali.com\/foodr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161117\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":556449,"href":"https:\/\/ostrali.com\/foodr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161117\/revisions\/556449"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostrali.com\/foodr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/548599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostrali.com\/foodr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=161117"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostrali.com\/foodr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=161117"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostrali.com\/foodr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=161117"},{"taxonomy":"internal_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostrali.com\/foodr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal_tag?post=161117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
