Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Turnip Greens

    Wash the turnip greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Cook the Greens

    Add the chopped turnip greens to the skillet, stirring to coat with the oil and aromatics. Pour in the vegetable broth, add red pepper flakes, and season with salt and black pepper. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the greens are tender.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a side dish.
