  • ½ pound fresh mustard greens
  • 3 medium-sized turnips (about ¾ pound), scraped, sliced into ¼-inch-thickrounds and cut into ¼-inchdice
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1½ cups finely chopped onion
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground hot red pepper (cayenne)

  • 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.
