Turnip Greens

Ingredients

  • Fresh turnip greens
  • 3–4 pieces of fat back (or bacon)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

  1. Wash the turnip greens thoroughly and cut into pieces.
  2. Cook the greens in boiling water until tender.
  3. Fry the fat back in an iron skillet to render the grease.

  5. Sauté greens briefly to combine flavors.

Serving

Tip: Using an iron skillet enhances the flavor and helps retain heat while sautéing.
