Corn Popovers with Collard Greens & Pepperoni

Nearly 15 years ago, in Atlanta I tried something called “pot lickers” – corn muffins with collard green & ham hock broth. You dipped the muffin in that juice and licked the metaphorical bottom of the pot. I was so obsessed with the flavor that I bought a jar of the broth from the place (something like World Cafe, it was called), and carried it proudly through airport security – they did allow liquids those days.

This combination is a modified, fancier version of pot lickers – popovers from smitten kitchen and an unusual sauteed collard greens with pepperoni experiment from Food and Wine Magazine. The collard greens need more juice for the dipping, and you can make that happen with some chicken broth and white wine towards the end of the sauteeing.

I think this qualifies as Thanksgiving grub too.

Here are the two recipes:
