Turnip Greens
Ingredients List
Greens Preparation
Clean the turnip greens thoroughly before preparing them. Chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces after removing the stiff stems. Place aside.
Cook the Ham hock
Cook the diced ham in a large saucepan over medium heat until crispy. This will give the meal a delicious smokiness.
Fry the chopped onions in the saucepan until they become translucent. Sauté for 30 seconds more after adding the minced garlic.
Throw the turnip greens into the saucepan stir them thoroughly, allowing them to somewhat soften in the bacon-infused bliss.
Pour in the vegetable broth, making sure it completely covers the greens. Allow the flavors to mingle by bringing the mixture to a slow simmer.
Season to taste with the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the spice level to your liking. Drizzle apple cider vinegar for a little of tartness.
Turn the heat to low, cover the pot, and allow the greens to simmer for 30-40 minutes. The slow simmering allows the flavors to develop.
Creamy mashed potatoes provide a smooth and buttery foundation for the strong tastes of turnip greens. The mixture is both soothing and delectable.
Serve with mashed potatoes
When the turnip greens are soft and imbued with all of the delightful tastes, it's time to serve. Spoon them onto a platter and top with some of the delicious broth.
