Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Prepare Greens

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

  2. 2

    Mince Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

  2. 4

    Add Turnip Greens

    Add the chopped turnip greens to the skillet and stir to combine with the garlic and oil. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until the greens start to wilt.

  3. 5

    Add Broth and Season

    Pour in the vegetable broth and season with salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer. Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the greens are tender.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Once the turnip greens are cooked, remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish.
