Turnip And Mustard Greens With Smoked Bacon And Vinegar Recipes

TURNIP GREENS WITH BACON

Steps:

• Place bacon and onion in a large skillet and cook over medium heat, covered, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and onions are translucent, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Place turnip greens into the skillet, a handful at a time if necessary, until wilted down, 5 to 7 minutes. Add coffee, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Taste the liquid and adjust seasonings if necessary. Reduce heat to low or medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes more.
• Uncover and cook until liquid has reduced and greens are tender, about 10 minutes more.

TURNIP GREENS WITH SMOKED SLAB BACON

Steps:

• Wash the turnip greens in cold water and drain well. Repeat the process twice, making sure all sandy grit is removed from the leaves. Cut off and discard the tough stems and any discolored greens.
• Place the bacon in a medium stockpot with the water. Bring to a boil and cook at a rapid simmer. Gradually add the greens, stirring to wilt before adding another batch, until all the greens are in the pot. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the greens are tender.
• Top each serving of greens with a few dashes of pepper sauce or serve the sauce on the side.

TURNIP AND MUSTARD GREENS WITH SMOKED BACON AND VINEGAR

Steps:

• Wash the greens, remove the thick stalks, and coarsely chop the leaves.
• Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and add the oil and bacon. Cook the bacon until it is about halfway rendered and still soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the onion and season with salt. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until the onion is fragrant, translucent, and beginning to turn golden. Add the greens and a big pinch of salt, lower the heat, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, until the greens are very soft and the water from the greens has evaporated. Adjust the seasoning and serve with the spicy vinegar.
