Instructions: Wash all greens thoroughly; remove all stems or hard centers of leaves.

Boil greens together for about two (2) hours. Strain greens and save water.

Chop greens finely. Simmer ham and veal in shortening for about 10 minutes in a deep iron skillet. Add onion and chopped parsley until onion is brown.

Add greens and simmer 15 minutes. Add skillet contents back to water from greens. Add bay leaf, thyme, clove, allspice, salt, pepper and cayenne.

Boil over low flame for one hour.

Serves 10 to 12.
