Emeril's Stew of Hearty Greens

YIELD 6 to 8 Servings.

INGREDIENTS

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup sliced onions
3 tablespoons chopped green onions
8 ounces thinly sliced okra
1/2 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 pounds shredded mixed greens (1/2 pound each spinach, collard greens, turnip greens and cabbage leaves)
2 smoked turkey wings, separated at the joints
2 quarts vegetable or chicken stock
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt
Cayenne
Pinch ground thyme
Steamed rice, for serving
Chopped green onions, for garnish

PREPARATION:

Method

  1. Heat olive oil in a large soup pot; add sliced onions, green onions and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add okra and garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Add greens, a handful at a time. Stir until wilted before adding next bunch. Add the turkey wings, the stock, bay leaf, salt, cayenne and thyme. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 1 hour. Taste for seasoning—greens should be tender and slightly spicy; add enough salt to enhance flavors.

To Serve

  1. Serve with steamed rice and green onions.
