THE CORNBREAD
My Homemade Self-Rising Cornbread with a thoroughly baked, firm crust is best for this sandwich because it holds the filling without turning mushy.
I suggest using my recipe.
THE SMOKY TURNIP GREENS
Drain the pot liquor from the Smoky Turnip Greens into a small container before placing on the cornbread.
Use the savory pot liquor as a dip. DELISH.
HOW TO MAKE A CORNBREAD SANDWICH
Cut in half a large slice of cornbread.
Arrange drained turnip greens on bottom half.
Use the juice from cooked turnip greens (also known as pot liquor)
as a dip. Tastes GREAT.
Top with a slice of onion and tomato.
Sprinkle with salt and ground black pepper (optional).
Place remaining half of cornbread on top.
Serve immediately. Eat with a fork and/or spoon.
