Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch fresh turnip greens with roots
1 medium piece salt pork
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons bacon drippings, butter, or margarine
Pinch of sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Strip the stems from the greens (unless they're very tender) and wash thoroughly. Place in a saucepan and add the pork, water, and salt. Cook, covered, for 45 minutes over medium heat, or until tender. Remove the pork and pour the greens into a colander to drain. Place in a pan and chop scissor-like with two knives.

These turnip greens are a classic Southern dish, and this recipe is a great way to make them. The greens are cooked slowly until they are tender and flavorful, and the pot liquor is rich and delicious. I highly recommend this recipe.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my turnip greens turned out bitter and tough. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These turnip greens were good, but not great. I found them to be a little bland. I think I would have liked them more if I had added more salt and pepper.

I've made turnip greens many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The secret is in the pot liquor. I used a combination of chicken broth and bacon drippings, and it gave the greens so much flavor. I will definitely be making this recipe
