I made the recipe exactly as written. I did cook it a little longer, because the turnip greens and okra were still very tough after 20 minutes. I liked the addition of okra to the turnip greens, but I think I'd follow kellyn's review next time and cook the greens like I always do (I'm from the south), adding the okra. I made this for my "greens" on New Years Day! Thanks for sharing!

This is my second okra recipe tonight as I had a big bag from the farmer's market to use and being as I've been travelling around in Africa this week with the Babes on ZWT4 thought I'd make ONE MORE dish. I gobbled the other okra dish up so I though I'd try another! I'm sorry that I didn't have fresh turnip greens and had to use canned ones though. I think it would have been much, much better with fresh. I also think it needed some sort of vinegar and maybe even a little touch of sugar. LOVED the pine nuts (another item I wanted to use)! Thanks for such an unusual recipe! I now know that I like okra cooked in more than one way (fried)!

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies.
