Ingredients to make Grelos with potatoes:
- 300 grams of natural turnip greens in salt water
- 3 medium potatoes (potatoes)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 small glass of olive oil
- 2 pinches of salt
- 2 pinches of paprika from the Vera
How to make turnip tops with potatoes:
If you find fresh turnip greens, wash and remove the thick, tough stems. Cook them in a saucepan with a lid over low heat. Do not add water so that the nutrients of the turnip greens do not escape. If you only find canned turnip tops, nothing happens, drain them well and save this step.
Wash the potatoes and make a cut around the skin with a knife. This will facilitate the detachment of the shell. Boil them for 30 minutes and check that they are done by pricking them with a stick. When they are ready, cool them in water, peel them and cut them into wide slices.
Trick: It is a good idea to cook the potatoes with their skin so that they do not absorb more water and lose consistency.
In a food processor, grind a clove of garlic with a small glass of olive oil. Blend until completely blended and without chunks. Add salt to avoid the need to season the rest of the preparation.
Serve your turnip tops with potatoes on a plate. Sprinkle a little paprika from the Vera or sweet. Stir and mix.
Tip: If you like, you can add a little vinegar to give it an acid touch.
