Very, very Southern simple, so why not have these veggies "turn up" on your family's plates tonight? They're a super change of pace!
What You'll Need
- 2 (16-ounce) packages frozen chopped turnip greens, thawed
- 1 (4-ounce) piece salt pork
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
What to Do
- In a large pot, bring all ingredients to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook 25 to 30 minutes, or until tender, stirring occasionally.
Notes
Sure, you can use 2 to 2-1/2 pounds fresh turnip greens instead. Remove the stems and wash the greens. You can leave them whole or chop them; boil them until wilted, then drain. Return them to the pot and proceed as above.
