De’Troit Greens

By Becky Bolden from The Village of Oakland Woods

 

2 Boxes chicken or beef bone broth

1 Bag collard greens, cleaned and chopped

1 Bag turnip greens, cleaned and chopped

3-4 turnips, medium, peeled and diced

3 onions, medium, peeled and quartered

4-6 Cloves garlic, chopped

6-8 Strips bacon, thick cut

4 Patties sage sausage

1 Bottle Honey Brown lager beer or Old English 800 beer

2 Tbsp. no salt seasoning

3 Tbsp. spicy brown mustard

1 bayleaf, dried

1 Tbsp rosemary, dried

1 tsp. thyme, dried

1 tsp. sage, dried

Lawry’s seasoning salt, optional

 

Directions

Simmer onions, garlic, mustard, rosemary, thyme, sage, no salt seasoning, and bayleaf in water for 45-60 minutes. While the water is simmering, cut bacon into 1/2 inch pieces and crumble sausage. Brown together in a skillet, drain on paper towels, and set aside. Save 3 tablespoons of the rendered fat.

When the water has simmered, add turnips, bacon, and sausage to the strained water. Cook until the turnips are par-boiled, then add the bone broth. When the pot has come to a boil, add greens and cook until tender. Add Lawry’s seasoning salt to taste.
