Mustard Greens with Turnips

Mustard Greens with Turnips
Makes 6 servings
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
1 large firm turnip (about 1 pound), cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 cup sliced green onions
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt plus 1 tablespoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 cups water
1 pound mustard greens, coarsely chopped
Melt the butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. When the 
foam subsides, add the turnip cubes, green onions, sugar, the 1/2 
teaspoon salt, and black and cayenne pepper, stir, and cook for 5 
minutes, uncovered. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until 
the turnips are fork-tender, about 30 minutes, stirring often to prevent 
sticking.
While the turnips are cooking, bring the water to a boil in a large pot 
and add the additional 1 tablespoon of salt and the greens. Bring the 
water back to a boil, and immediately drain the greens. (If using greens 
other than mustard, cook a bit longer if needed until the greens are 
tender.) Transfer to a serving dish and cover to keep warm until the 
turnips are ready.
Top the greens with the turnips and any juices in the pan.
