| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Wash the mustard greens under cold running water. With a small sharp knife, trim off any bruised or blemished spots and strip the leaves away from their stems.
|
2. Drop the mustard greens into a small saucepan, add enough water to cover them, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover the pan tightly, reduce the heat to low and simmer 5 to 10 minutes, or until the greens are wilted and soft. Drain them in a sieve or colander and set aside.
|
3. Meanwhile, combine the turnips, sugar and salt in a separate small saucepan and pour in enough water to cover them by at least 1 inch.
|
4. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to low and simmer, partially covered, for about 10 minutes, or until the turnips are tender but still intact. Drain the turnips in a sieve or colander and reserve them.
|
5. In a heavy 10- to 12-inch skillet, heat the oil over moderate heat until a light haze forms above it. Drop in the onions and, stirring frequently, cook for about 5 minutes, or until they are soft and translucent but not brown.
|
6. Add the reserved mustard greens and turnips and the cayenne and, stirring from time to time, simmer over low heat until the greens and turnips are heated through.
|
7. Taste for seasoning and serve at once from a heated bowl.
