Fresh Mustard and Turnip Greens
We love mustard and turnip greens!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 bunches of greens about 2 pounds (Can be turnip, mustard or collards)
- 1 large onion chopped (Optional) I don’t like onion cooked in my greens. I like to add it later after the greens are cooked.
- 1/2 cup pork jowl can use ham hocks, salt pork, ham or bacon chopped
- 1 cup water Can add more. I like to have some pot likker on my greens
- 1 teaspoon sugar Optional
- 2 to 3 slices bacon cooked and crumbled on top (Optional)
Instructions
- Bring water to a boil, add meat to pot and cook about five minutes. Remove stems from greens and wash several times. No need to drain greens. Add greens to pot along with onion and sugar. (Some people don’t add sugar but I always add a small amount of sugar to fresh vegetables because I think it brings out the flavor. Cover greens and cook until tender. I cook mine about 15 minutes. I don’t like them overcooked.
