Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Cook Time: 40 Minutes
Ready In: 70 Minutes
Servings: 8
Ingredients:
2 large bunch(es) (about 4 pounds) fresh turnips and greens
balsamic vinegar, for serving, optional
1/2 teaspoon(s) ground black pepper
1 teaspoon(s) salt, or more to taste
1 tablespoon(s) sugar
2 tablespoon(s) vegetable oil
Directions:
1. Cut turnips from the greens, and scrub well under cool running water. Set aside. Cut the tough ends from the bottom of the greens. Fill a large bowl (or a clean sink) with cool water, and wash the greens thoroughly by dipping and swirling in the water. Drain the water, and repeat twice.
2. Coarsely chop the turnips and greens, and place in a 4 1/2-quart Dutch oven or soup pot. Fill the pot with enough water to cover the greens.
3. Add the oil, sugar, salt and pepper. Place over high heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat slightly, still maintaining a steady boil, and cook about 25 minutes, or until the turnip pieces and greens are soft. Drain and serve with vinegar if desired.
