WANTED ~ Collard or Mustard Green Recipe

[magnolia]

I absolutely LOVE turnip greens!!! But I do the "quick" version now. Here's how I make mine:

1 package frozen turnip greens
bacon grease
chopped onions and bell peppers (I buy these in the frozen section, already chopped)
1 clove garlic
1 cup water

In cast iron skillet, put 1-2 tablespoons of bacon grease in (I have a mason jar I keep in my fridge with reserved bacon grease). Once grease melted and hot, add the onions and bell peppers (add to your taste, I never measure this out!!) and the clove of garlic. Saute for 3-5 minutes. Add the frozen turnip greens and the water. Bring to a boil, reduce to medium heat, and cover for about 10 minutes. Reduce heat a little lower (not completely on low, between medium and low), stir, cover, and cook another 10 minutes til water is gone. YUM. My hubby and my 13 year old LOVE them cooked this way!!

And, if you love the taste of canned grean beans, got a simple recipe to give you that same taste most of us probably grew up on! Get a cast iron skillet and canned green beans (drain the liquid off). Pour the green beans in the skillet and add 1 cup water and one capful of white vinegar. Bring to a boil then simmer on low til water is cooked out - YUM!!!
