Honey Soy Turnip Greens

Smiley’s Farm Produce at The Nashville Framers’ Market has bushels and bushels of turnip greens and their Turnip Green Festival the first of every November. Folks that “cook up a mess of greens” the old-fashioned bring garbage bags and load up on them. This recipe from Chef Skylar Bush may not be the old-fashioned way, but it’s a new way we adore.

    • 1/4 cup soy sauce
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar
    • 1 tablespoon local honey

    • juice of one large orange
    • 1 teaspoon Sambal chili paste
    • 1 cup water
    • 1/2 cup heavy cream
    • zest of one large orange
