Lets go cook turnip greens, which are now in season. We are going to prepare them as an aperitif, sautéed with garlic and chilli and on toasted bread.
Buy them even if you do not usually consume them because they are easy to clean and are very rich, even in preparations as simple as today.
The most tender leaves and flowers are eaten from turnip greens, very similar to broccoli. In order to clean them We will proceed as with any other vegetables: washing them to remove the remains of earth, discarding the hardest leaves or those that are not healthy and cutting the base of each stem.
Our best known dish with this vegetable is Lacon with turnip tops but it doesn't hurt to know that we can consume it in other preparations. Today's recipe is good proof of this.
Grelos with chilli
A different starter made with turnip greens sautéed with the spicy touch of the chilli.

Ingredients
- 2 or 3 bunches of turnip greens
- 1 piece of chilli
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
Preparation
We wash the turnip greens and reserve them.
We put the water to boil in a saucepan. When the water starts to boil, we salt it and cook the turnip greens in it. 10 or 15 minutes will be enough.
When the turnip greens are practically cooked, we put the oil in a frying pan. When it is hot, add the whole garlic cloves and the chilli in pieces.
After 3 or 4 minutes we can add the cooked turnip tops. To do this, we remove them from the cooking water and put them in the pan.
Let's redo everything for a few minutes and add salt if necessary.
While sautéing we toast the bread in a toaster or in a carmela.
We serve the turnip greens on the toasts.
