At Leon's World's Finest In & Out B-B-Q House on Galveston Island, they serve tender ribs and tangy sauce with sensational Southern-style vegetables. It's all in the seasoning, says Leon. Here's his recipe for turnip greens. Ingredients:
1 large bunch turnip greens |
1 small turnip, peeled and diced |
dash of sugar |
6 slices bacon, diced |
1 onion, diced |
1 tablespoon lemon pepper |
salt to taste |
louisiana hot-pepper sauce |
Directions:
1. Wash the greens in several changes of water in the sink until no more grit is seen. Chop the greens coarsely. Bring a large pot of water to boil and add the greens, the turnip, and the sugar. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain.
2. In a large skillet, sauté the bacon until it gives up its grease. Add the onion and cook 7 minutes until the onion is soft. Toss the greens with the bacon and onion. Add the lemon pepper and salt. Serve with Louisiana hot-pepper sauce.
3. Variation: Green beans. Substitute 1 pound fresh green beans, cleaned and snapped. Omit the sugar.
