look at all these beautiful greens i
0:04
wonderful fresh turnip greens they do
0:06
require a little care though
0:08
uh the first thing we're gonna do is
0:12
away from the stem where the green
0:14
starch you just stop and pull
0:16
and it's out of there and before you
0:19
know it you'll have a
0:20
big bowl full and you're going to think
0:22
oh my gosh i don't have a pot big enough
0:24
well let me tell you let me tell you a
0:26
little secret about turnip greens
0:28
you can have a barrel this big and that
0:31
deep and when you get through cooking
0:33
it's going to go down to about this size
0:36
right here the other thing i want to
0:37
tell you about greens is
0:39
they can be very very gritty because
0:41
they grow down into the dirt
0:42
so you're going to want to make sure you
0:44
wash them very very good
0:46
get all that grit out of them so we've
0:49
and over here in this pot i've had ham
0:53
cooking for about an hour and a half now
0:57
you can certainly swap out ham hock for
1:01
and you can find these in most any of
1:05
they make a great seasoning and you will
1:07
have to cook them about the same length
1:09
of time that you will the ham hot
1:11
now these greens that i have up here
1:15
have been washed three times they're
1:16
nice and clean so here we go that
1:19
we're just gonna put them down in that
1:23
broth and you can see how quickly
1:29
so depending on the greens they could
1:32
take anywhere from 30 minutes to 45
1:34
minutes to an hour depending on
1:36
whether they're young or they're older
1:37
greens so you'll just have to test
1:40
your greens and while those are cooking
1:42
i'm going to be preparing the roots that
1:44
we're going to put in there
1:45
so to prepare your root just trim both
1:50
and peel them like so these take about
1:54
12 to 15 minutes so we'll add those
1:57
towards the very end of our cooking time
2:00
and we'll just slice them just like we
2:03
a potato a cottage potato
2:08
just like that now i'm going to come
2:12
now that our greens have kind of wilted
2:14
down and i'm going to add a chicken
2:17
and remember this contains a lot of salt
2:19
too so i'm gonna drop that
2:22
in and one other thing i'm gonna do
2:26
these turnip greens that my grandmother
2:29
i'm gonna put a little ground ginger in
2:37
all right so i'm going to cover these up
2:39
and while they're cooking
2:40
i'm going to go on to make my
2:44
cornmeal dumplings when i was cooking my
2:48
turnip greens i put in a little extra
2:51
so that i could have the extra broth to
2:55
so we're gonna mix up our cornmeal
2:58
by starting with a white
3:01
medium ground plain cornmeal
3:04
a little bit of salt a little bit of
3:09
and i like adding a little green onions
3:12
they just add a lot of
3:13
interest in color and one egg
3:26
all right now we're just going to pour a
3:28
little bit of that broth and you'll want
3:30
a little bit at the time because
3:31
remember you can always add two
3:34
but it's hard to pull it back out but
3:36
see how simple that was
3:38
so all we're gonna do is pick up a
3:41
spoonful of our dough
3:43
and mold it and we're just going to drop
3:47
hot boiling liquor and it seems to be
3:49
holding together nicely now we're going
3:51
to let those cook for
3:54
oh gosh maybe about 10 minutes it really
3:56
doesn't take them very long because
3:58
we're going to let them
4:03
look at that pot of turnip greens now
4:05
i've added those sliced turnip roots
4:07
they've cooked and look how beautiful
4:09
they are now i'm going to take our
4:12
and i'm just going to lay them around
4:15
on the greens just like granny taught me
4:21
how wonderful do they look
4:24
i want to make sure i get me a little
4:29
talking about putting some south in your
4:33
and then i'm gonna grab me a coin stick
