This is how I cook greens of any kind at home. Pick your greens and remember to wash them well. It isn't fun to bite into your greens and feel the grit! Remember that once cooked your pot that was completely full to the top with clean greens will cook down to about a fourth of that amount.
Pot of washed greens ( you can tear them up of you like or leave them whole)
1/4-1/2 lb bacon , fried and crumbled
1 small onion, chopped
turnips, chopped
season with salt, pepper, tony chachere's and the old timers say a table spoon of sugar to keep them from being bitter. I know, sounds weird but it works!
I cover the greens with water but I mash them down with my hand and only cover that much of them. So you shouldn't have a pot full of water, it should be less than half. I cook the greens on medium heat . The ingredients can be added with the greens and cooked with them. The greens will turn a dark color and be tender. Make a pan of cornbread and eat up!
