Sugar can be added during cooking to eliminate a bitter taste although this technique is sometimes debated. Ingredients:
1 bunch fresh turnip greens (about 4 1/2 pounds) |
1 pound salt pork (streak of lean) or smoked pork shoulder |
3 quarts water |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper |
2 teaspoons sugar (optional) |
Directions:
1. Remove and discard stems and discolored spots from greens. Wash greens thoroughly; drain and tear greens into pieces. Set aside.
2. Slice salt pork at 1/4-inch intervals, cutting to, but not through, the skin.
3. Combine salt pork, 3 quarts water, pepper, and, if desired, sugar in a Dutch oven; bring mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour.
4. Add greens, and cook, uncovered, 30 to 35 minutes or until tender. Serve with a slotted spoon.
