Louisiana Turnips
1 large bunch turnip greens
1 small turnip, peeled and diced
Dash of sugar
6 slices bacon, diced
1 onion, diced
1 tablespoon lemon pepper
Salt to taste
Louisiana hot-pepper sauce
Wash the greens in several changes of
water in the sink until no more grit is
seen. Chop the greens coarsely. Bring
a large pot of water to boil and add
the greens, the turnip, and the sugar.
Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until
tender. Drain.
In a large skillet, sauté the bacon until
it gives up its grease. Add the onion
and cook 7 minutes until the onion is
soft. Toss the greens with the bacon
and onion. Add the lemon pepper and
salt. Serve with Louisiana hot-pepper sauce.
