Ran across some fresh turnip greens at the local grocery, so it didn’t take much coaxing to make some fresh greens. They are a family favorite; I even love the frozen ones, but there is no comparison to the fresh ones.
Greens will be the focus for this meal, but we love pork with our greens, so I grabbed some center cut thin chops and to the house I went!
Got the greens all washed and ready for a rough chop.
Started cooking a bunch of home made bacon bits,
And a pack of Tasso to add to the party.
Chopped the roots up into cubes.
Once the bits were cooked down I drained most of the grease, added water and brought it to a boil. I also added a generous amount of Tony’s, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Brought that all to the boil then added everything else.
Let that all simmer for 3-4 hours and about 2 hours in I started prepping the chops. Seasoned them w olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and parsley. Then I took a hot skillet, added olive oil and minced garlic (entire head). Then I simply pan fried the chops until golden brown.
Added some pepper sauce to the greens and it was a meal fit for a king! Simple and delicious!
