Bitter Greens With Carrots Turnips And Oranges Recipes

BITTER GREENS WITH CARROTS, TURNIPS, AND ORANGES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until slightly darkened in color and fragrant, 8-10 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop.
• Whisk vinegar, lemon juice, shallot, and mustard in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, gradually add oil. Whisk until emulsified; season vinaigrette with kosher salt and pepper. Stir in thyme.
• Toss watercress, radicchio, carrots, turnips, oranges, kumquats (if using), and toasted walnuts in a large bowl. Drizzle with vinaigrette, season with sea salt and pepper, and toss again to coat.

GINA'S TURNIP GREENS

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in Dutch oven over medium heat.
• Add shallot, garlic and red pepper flakes and saute until tender and fragrant. Add the washed and cleaned turnip greens. Mix together. Cook until they have wilted down, about 3 minutes. Add pepper to taste.
• In a small bowl, whisk the Dijon mustard with the chicken stock. Add to the wilted greens and cook until the liquid has all but evaporated. Add the toasted pecans and serve immediately.

ORANGE-HONEY GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Cut the carrots diagonally in 1-inch-thick slices. You should have about 5 cups of carrots. Place 1/2 cup water, the butter, honey, 2 teaspoons of salt, and the ginger in a large saute pan and bring to a boil. Add the carrots, cover the pan, and simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook for about 20 minutes, or until all the water has evaporated. You may want to raise the heat for the last 5 minutes.
• Add the orange zest and orange juice to the pan, tossing with the carrots. Simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes, until the carrots are al dente (tender but still resistant when you bite) and the sauce glazes the carrots. Add the pepper and another teaspoon of salt, to taste.

HEALTHY AND DELICIOUS SOUTHERN TURNIP GREENS

Steps:

• Bring chicken broth, water, oil, salt, and pepper to a boil in a stockpot. Add turnip greens and sugar and return to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring every 15 minutes, until greens are tender, at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

TRULY TASTY TURNIPS WITH GREENS

Steps:

• In a greased 6- or 7-qt. slow cooker, combine all ingredients. Cook, covered, on low 5-6 hours or until vegetables are tender, stirring once. If using ham hocks, remove meat from bones when cool enough to handle; cut ham into small pieces and return to slow cooker. Serve with a slotted spoon.

EASY TURNIP GREENS

Steps:

• Combine water, salt, and sugar in a stockpot; bring to a boil. Add turnip greens, onion, and garlic to the boiling water; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Stir hot sauce into the mixture and cook until greens are tender, about 20 minutes more.

CARROTS AND TURNIPS WITH MARSALA

Steps:

• 1 Peel the carrots and turnips and cut them into 1-inch pieces. 2 In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the vegetables and salt to taste. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. 3 Add the Marsala. Cover and cook 5 minutes more or until the wine evaporates and the vegetables are tender. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
