I've had this recipe from the "BBQ Forum" in my files for years, and am just getting around to trying it.
Because it's just me, I have 1 bunch of turnip greens, 1 bunch of mustard greens, and 1 bunch of collards. I have one rutabaga, a little bigger than a softball. And a package of smoked turkey necks.
I did NOT wash the greens in the washing machine!
Question: would you remove all the larger stems from the greens before chopping, or would you just leave them on, considering they are going to be simmering for hours?
Lee
Robert's Louisiana greens
----------------------------
2 bunches mustard greens
2 bunches small collard greens
2 bunches turnip greens 1 small head of cabbage
1 1/2 lbs smoked turkey tails (or ham hock or whatever smoked meat parts you have)
1 big yellow onion cut in quarters
6 peeled turnips
4 tbs chopped garlic
season with louisiana hot sauce and red pepper/salt to taste
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Wash greens good to get the grit out (I put mine in the washing machine on small load cold water---dont laugh--it works!!) chop.
Take your magnalite pot and put turkey tails in with 4 cups water bring to a boil, boil for 15 min (do not throw water out)
Put in your greens handfulls at a time
Pour 2 cans of low sodium chix stock
Add onion, garlic,turnips
I like to cook this all day on a low fire you will have to keep adding stock or water (you can not over cook this!!!)
Serve over cooked rice top with pepper sauce and Louisiana hot sauce--- with a big pan of cornbread and butter
Now this is what I call cold weather Comfort Food!!!!!!------DR
