Turnip Greens
(Martha Stewart Living - July 2002)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 small onions
2 cups home made or canned chicken stock
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 large bunches turnip greens, tough stems discarded, and leaves roughly chopped
Hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco) optional

Melt butter in a stockpot over medium heat. Add onions: cook until they are soft and translucent, about 6 minutes. Add stock, salt, pepper; bring to a boil

Working in batches, if necessary so as not to overcrowd the pan, add turnip greens; cover and cook until greens are tender.. 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large serving platter and serve immediately with hot pepper sauce (if desired)

Roasted baby beets and sauteed beet greens
(from MasterCook )

Take 3 bunches of baby beets, washed well with tops. Cut off the tops, and place the beets in a roasting pan, toss with olive oil and add rosemary sprigs.

Roast at 375 for about 30 minutes. Remove skin while warm, and cut in half. Meanwhile saute the beet greens in olive oil and add a splash of balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper and place on plate, top with baby beets.
