TURNIP GREENS WITH SMOKED SLAB BACON

Steps:

• Wash the turnip greens in cold water and drain well. Repeat the process twice, making sure all sandy grit is removed from the leaves. Cut off and discard the tough stems and any discolored greens.
• Place the bacon in a medium stockpot with the water. Bring to a boil and cook at a rapid simmer. Gradually add the greens, stirring to wilt before adding another batch, until all the greens are in the pot. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the greens are tender.
• Top each serving of greens with a few dashes of pepper sauce or serve the sauce on the side.
