Southern Style Turnip Greens
Posted in recipes on Feb 18th, 2008
Ingredients:
- turnip greens
- salt pork
- 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
- dash of sugar (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
Cook salt pork in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat until crispy and brown. Add about 1 1/2 cups water, turnip greens, onion, salt, pepper and sugar and bring to a boil for about 1-2 minutes. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 40 minutes or so until greens are nice and tender.
Delicious served with cornbread.
*Notes: if using traditionally cured salt pork, you may not need additional salt. Also, greens can be blanched for 1-2 minutes and the water poured off to get rid of any bitter taste. Turnip greens may react with aluminum.
