Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 ounces country ham, cubed (see Cook's Note)
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1 pound stemmed turnip greens (see Cook's Note)
Freshly cracked black pepper
4 cups low-sodium chicken stock (one 32-ounce carton)

Steps:

  • Put the ham in a large stockpot over medium heat. Cook until the ham is crispy and the fat is rendered, about 8 minutes. Pour in the apple cider vinegar and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to lift up any brown bits.
  • Meanwhile, rip the greens into large pieces to make it easier to fit all of them into the stockpot.
  • Add the greens to the pot and season generously with black pepper. Pour in the chicken stock and stir to combine. Bring the greens to a simmer and cover the pot. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the greens are tender and the liquid is reduced by half, about 45 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is nearly gone, about 10 minutes more. Serve immediately.

DONNA'S TURNIP GREEN CASSEROLE



Donna's Turnip Green Casserole image

My MIL has made this for the last 20 years I've know her. It is really good and is usually only fixed for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Use a good quality brand of turnip greens. Store brands often have lots of hard stems. NOTE: 11/15/12 I have learned that Bush's no longer makes canned greens. I would recommend using frozen...

Categories     Vegetables

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 can(s) bush's turnip greens, drained** see note**
1 can(s) cream of mushroom soup
1 c mayonnaise
3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
4 eggs, slightly beaten
salt and pepper
1/2 c bread crumbs
1/2 c grated cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all the wet ingredients together, then pour into a casserole dish. Add as much salt and pepper as you wish. She used a couple of shakes, probably about 1/4 teaspoon of each.
  • 2. Top with bread crumbs and cheese.
  • 3. Bake one hour at 350 degrees
  • 4. She has one of those big square Corning Ware casserole dishes she uses. Note 11/15/12 I made this for a work luncheon. It fits in a 8x8 or 9x9 square baking pan. My MIL must have made a doube batch because her dish was much larger.
