Turnip Greens

I found this recipe at Just Vegetables This is a site where you click on the name of a vegetable and it gives you a bunch of recipes for that vegetable. I did not have the 2 pounds of greens called for in the recipe, so I just winged it terms of amounts... I just wanted to use the greens from the turnips I was using in the Casserole.

2 lb Tender turnip or mustard greens
1 tb Olive oil
1 sm Onion, chopped
2 Cloves garlic, crushed
2 c Water
1/2 ts Salt
Hot pepper vinegar





Pick over greens and remove tough stems.
Wash in cold water until no trace of sand remains. Set aside to drain.
Heat olive oil in large Dutch oven or stockpot. Add onion and saute until almost browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook another minute, then add water. Bring to boil.
Add greens and salt, cover and simmer over low heat 15 minutes to 2 hours, or until greens are of desired doneness. Add enough water during cooking as necessary to produce at least 1 cup cooking juices, known as pot likker. Serve with hot pepper vinegar on side, for sprinkling over greens.
Makes 8 servings.
