Southern Turnip Greens image

I've eaten turnip greens all my life and this recipe makes absolutely the best tasting turnip greens that I've ever put in my mouth. Good turnip greens with tasty Pot Liquor helps round out the menu on any Southern table. My family really likes these greens. I adapted the recipe from one the Loveless Cafe in Nashville...

Time 4h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb turnip greens
3 to 4 slice smoked bacon
1 medium onion, chopped
4 clove garlic, minced
5 oz country ham, diced
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
2 tsp dark brown sugar
1/3 c apple cider vinegar
6 c water
2 Tbsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Wash the greens, trim any bad spots, roughly chop, and set aside.
  • 2. Give the bacon a rough chop and put into a large stockpot over low heat for 5 minutes before adding chopped onion. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until onions are translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  • 3. Add diced ham, crushed red pepper, brown sugar, vinegar, and water and bring to a boil.
  • 4. Add cleaned and chopped greens. (Note: add water if needed so the liquid meets the surface of the cooked greens in the pot.) Simmer for approximately four hours, stirring occasionally and adding extra water if needed. Once greens are fully cooked and tender, taste for seasoning and add salt if desired.

I love this recipe! The turnip greens are always so tender and flavorful. I like to add a little bit of ham to the pot for extra flavor.

These turnip greens were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The greens are always tender and flavorful, and the broth is always rich and savory. I like to add a little extra spice by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper.
