Screamin Greens




Source of Recipe


RC (Patti LaBelle)


Recipe Introduction


According to Patti, if she's making greens, they're going to be screamin', because she's the screamin' queen! She uses a mix of greens to bring more flavor into this dish.


List of Ingredients




5 pounds assorted greens (collard, kale, mustard, and turnip greens, in any combination), tough stems discarded
2 medium onions, chopped
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 jalapenos, seeded and minced, optional
One 1 1/2-pound smoked turkey wing
Seasoned salt and freshly ground black pepper

Recipe



Tear the greens into large pieces. Wash the greens well in a sink full of cold water. Lift the greens out of the sink and transfer to a large bowl, leaving the grit to fall to the bottom of the sink. (Be sure you get all the grit out of the greens. If necessary, wash again.) Do not drain the greens in a colander.

In a large pot, combine the onions, two cups water, oil, and jalapenos, if using. Bring to a boil over high heat. Gradually stir in the greens, allowing each batch to wilt before adding more greens. Bury the turkey wing in the greens. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, just until the greens are tender, about 30 minutes. Do not overcook the greens or they will lose their color and fresh flavor. Remove the turkey wing. Discard the skin and bones, chop the turkey meat, and return to the pot. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the greens to a serving dish. Serve hot.
