Totally Turnip Greens

Totally Turnip Greens!

This recipe tastes fantastic.

Ingredients

2-3 bunches turnips, with greens attached

2 sweet banana peppers, diced

1 piece of bacon, chopped into tiny bits

1 slice of pineapple, chopped into 1/4" chunks

1/2 piece of smoked andouille chicken sausage, diced

3 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar

1/2 cup Chicken Stock

1 tsp Kosher Salt

3 tsp Black Pepper

For this recipe, take two or three bunches of fresh turnips with the greens still attached.

Cut off the turnips and set aside.

Chop the greens into two piles.  One pile has the leafy greens chopped into 1-2" pieces, the other pile has the stalk chopped into tiny (1/4") bits.

Start the bacon frying.

Once the bacon has started to crisp up. Add the andouille sausage.

After a minute, add the stalk parts of the turnip greens.

Twist those around with tongs until they are thoroughly coated.

Add 3TBSP Red Wine Vinegar and 1/4 cup water

Cook the stalks down for maybe 15 minutes this way

Add the leafy parts of the turnip greens, the chicken stock, salt and pepper.

Twist this concoction all around until all has been coated.

Cover and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

If it starts to get dry, add some water (or more chicken stock).

Add the pineapple and maybe 1tsp of juice if you have it, after 30 minutes and the banana peppers.

Twist this all up and cook for another 15 minutes.

I guarantee this one tastes delicious!
