Turn on to turnip greens
Mar 22, 2011 Uncategorized
I’m new to Turnip Greens.
I believe my grandfather forced me to eat them when I was really small, but I don’t recall for sure.
They are bitter…really bitter, but if they are prepared well, the taste isn’t so bad. Still, I’m finding I like it better if I pair it with something a little sweeter.
Turnip greens are so healthy. They’re a great source of calcium with more of the mineral than a glass of milk or even a serving of broccoli.
You’ll want to include turnip greens as one of those green leafy veggies you eat on a regular basis. You should eat about 2 cups of cruciferous vegetables about five times a week.
Here’s a delicious way to get some turnip greens into your diet.
Turnip Greens and Plantains
2 cups of Turnip Greens
1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 plantain, sliced into 1/2 inch disks
1/2 inch of oil in a pan
- Fill the bottom of a steamer pot with 2 inches of water. While waiting for the water to come to a rapid boil, chop greens. Steam for 5 minutes and toss with dressing.
- Meanwhile, fry the plantains, about 1 minute per side. Remove to a plate with a napkin on it and press them flat with the bottom of a glass or cup. Return to the oil and fry 30 seconds on each side.
- Arrange the greens on a plate. Put the plantains over the greens. Drizzle dressing over the plate.
Dressing
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- salt and pepper to taste
