Braised Turnip Greens




Source of Recipe


by Millie, from LA Times/Chef James Grey of Lincoln Steakhouse Americana


List of Ingredients




6 slices bacon -OR- salt pork, diced (optional)
1 pound turnip greens
1 pound pea tendrils -OR- Swiss chard
4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons minced garlic
1 cup diced onion
3 cups chicken broth
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Recipe



1. In a large sauté pan, cook the bacon until it's crisp, about 5 minutes. Place it on paper towels to drain.

2. Meanwhile, wash and dry the turnip greens and pea tendrils. Cut off the turnip stems and chop the greens and pea tendrils into 1-inch pieces. Using the same sauté pan, add the butter and cook it until it foams and browns lightly.

3. Add the garlic and onion and cook them over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Add the greens and chicken broth. Sauté the greens until tender but still green in color, about 10 minutes.

4. Place the greens in a colander, reserving the liquid in the pan. Strain, cool and reserve the greens. Simmer the liquid for about 10 minutes to reduce by half. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the greens and bacon back to the pan, stirring to combine and reheat. Serve.
