SOUTHERN TURNIP GREENS

Steps:

• Remove the center stems from the greens. Discard the stems and coarsely chop the leaves.
• Heat the pork jowls in a large stock pot over medium heat. Cook for 3-5 minutes to render off some of the grease, but so not drain the grease.
• Add one quart (4 cups) of water to the pot. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Add the cider vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper to the pot. Bring the pot to a boil again.
• Add the greens. You may need to work in batches, allowing the greens to wilt down to make room for more.
• Reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot again, then cook for 1 -2 hours. The longer the greens cook, the more tender they will become.
• Season the greens with salt and pepper if needed.

• Once all the greens are in the pot, start adding in the onions and bell peppers.
• Next add in the garlic, red pepper flakes, seasoning salt, black pepper, brown sugar, and vinegar.
• Give everything a nice stir, then reduce the heat to medium.

SALUBRIOUS TURNIP GREENS AND ROOTS

Steps:

• Wash and drain greens. On cutting board, place a large hand full of layered washed greens and roll into a tube. This does not have to be exact. With a sharp knife cut tube of greens and toss into large bowl. Repeat until all leaves are cut into smaller pieces.
• Meanwhile, in a large stock pot turn on medium low heat for 1 minute. Add in olive oil.
• To stock pot add all greens, chopped turnip roots, rutabaga and water. Stir well and cover with lid. Cook for 15 minutes and stir as needed. If water amount becomes too low, add in another cup of water to help steam the greens.
• Cook for 30 additional minutes or until all turnip greens, turnip roots and rutabagas are tender. Add in salt and pepper. I have used a small amount of salt in an effort to reduce sodium. You may add more at the table if needed.
• Note: At this point, the greens need a sprinkle of cayenne. Sprinkle cayenne and adjust to your enjoyment.
