Instructions
Place all ingredients except finishing ingredients into the inner liner of your pressure cooker. You want to set those aside so you can get a fresh zing of flavor after the beans and greens have pressure cooked.
Cook at high pressure for 10 minutes. Allow it to release pressure naturally for 10 minutes and then release all remaining pressure slowly. If it foams, let it sit for a few more minutes.
(Skip this step for vegan version) Remove ham hocks and using two forks, remove the skin and fat. Shred the meat and put it into the beans and stir well.
Add apple cider vinegar, liquid smoke and hot sauce and taste. Season to adjust.
