Cajun Style Turnip Greens Recipe Video
Turnip greens are a real Southern Cajun food. No Cajun recipe collection would be complete without this southern cooking recipe. You rarely see this great vegetable in restaurants, although some Southern based cafeterias like Piccadilly serve them. Turnip greens are something you get at home, or don’t get at all.
Ingredients
| Turnip greens | 2 Pound | |
| Tunrip | 2 Medium | |
| Smoked ham | 1 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Vegetable stock | 6 Cup (96 tbs) | |
| Cajun trinity | 3 Cup (48 tbs) | |
| Salt | To Taste |
Directions
Prepare all your ingredients in order to easily put together.
Using fresh Turnip Greens, soak the greens in salted water. You will need to rinse and soak again a few times to make sure all the grit is removed. Chop into small bitsize pieces. (Hint: we found a 2 lb pre-washed pack at the supermarket - ready to go turnip greens.)
Cook your bacon, ham, or sausage in a skillet. Drain, cut-up and set aside.
Turnip Roots - peel the thick outer skin. Cut-up into diced bite-size pieces.
Chop your onions, bell pepper, celery and garlic.
Ready to Cook:
Begin by pouring 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or fat from the seasoning meat in a stock pot. Saute the Cajun Trinity for 5 minutes. Pour in 4-6 cups stock. Add diced turnip roots. Bring to a boil. Cook for 15 minutes.
Add the Turnip Greens, Seasoning meat, salt and Cajun Seasoning. Cover and lower the heat to medium #4. Cook for 45 minutes.
Serve in a bowl with a good hot biscuit for dipping the "pot licker".
