How To Cook Southern Style

Prep Time : 1hr, Cook time 2 hrs 30 Min

Ingredients:

1 Head of Green Cabbage - Cut into slices and chopped
3 bunches Collard greens, 3 bunches of Mustard Greens - rinsed, trimmed and chopped
1 Onion - Cut into small blocks
1 Turnip - peeled and chopped into small pieces
4 smoked Turkey Neck Bones
8 cups of Water
Garlic salt, Season Salt and Black pepper for Taste
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (Optional)
1/4 cup olive oil - to make Greens and Cabbage not stick

Directions !

Heat olive oil and water in a large pot over medium heat.

Add the collard greens, Mustard greens to the cooking pot, and turn the heat up to medium- high. Add the Cabbage last , about 20 minutes before Mustard and Collards are complete. The Cabbage take the shortest amount of time to cook.

Let the greens cook down for about 45 minutes, and stir occasionally.

Reduce heat to medium, and season with Garlic salt,Seasoning Salt, black pepper to taste. Continue to cook until the greens are tender and dark green, 45 to 60 minutes.

Cook the Smoked Turkey Neck Bones in a separate pot with Onions. Cook about 1 hour than drain and keep Turkey stock. Cook simultaneously so Greens and Cabbage will be ready together.

Mix in the chopped onions, Smoked Neck Bones, 2 cups Turkey Stock, Turnips, into the greens and cabbage and keep on low, and heat for 15 minutes or until the Turnips are soft and ready to eat.

This Dish go very well with Hot Water CornBread, and some Mc.Ilhenny Co. Tabasco Sauce. The spike of Tabasco Sauce will enhance the southern cooking experience, and leave your mouth gushing for more. What a mild and pleasant surprise.

Cooking greens go back a long way in the African American Community. Hopefully, everyone can share the joy of some of the healthiest Kale leaves on earth "Better known as Collard Greens". And the Mustard greens leaf that look like spinach but have a better taste. The Cabbage will add a twist to this dish and make the dish more fulfillment.

This is a easy recipe to make, and will last for days if possible. You can even freeze the Greens after cooking for a later date. As thousands of African Americans enjoy this dish, and I would love to share this recipe with the world. After All, That is what food is suppose to be about "Sharing" and spending time with love ones.
