These greens are similar to the way my Granny used to make em. Difference is we used fatback grease. She soaked, boiled with seasonings, drained, chopped the greens, and then sauted them in that grease in that order. I guess these greens are a healthier, upscale take on good ole turnip greens.

For somebody who had never had turnip greens before, i thought this was a tasty way to add some leafy greens to our diet.

my "go to" recipe for turnip greens. I do feel free to play w/ it adding crisp procuitto, a little bacon grease, a liittle maple syrup and apple cider vinegar; if i just want the plain greens and am concerned w/ the bitterness i will add a touch of nutmeg which helps w/ the over riding sharpness, bitterness in other vegs of this nature, as well, such as boiled cabbage. It will sweeten them if you only use a pinch and only a pinch.
