THE CORNBREAD
Cornbread with a thoroughly baked, firm crust is best for this sandwich because it holds the filling without turning to mush.
I suggest using my recipe Homemade Self-Rising Cornbread.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Drain the pot liquor from the Smoky Turnip Greens into a small container before placing on the cornbread.
The liquid is also a tasty dip for the sandwich.
HOW TO MAKE A CORNBREAD SANDWICH
Cut in half a generous slice of cornbread.
Arrange drained turnip greens on top.
Keep the pot liquor to use as a dip for the sandwich.
Add chopped onions and sliced tomatoes.
Sprinkle with coarse ground black pepper and salt (optional).
Place the top half of cornbread on top.
Serve immediately.
ENJOY!

Looks good but what is pot liquor?
Diane, pot liquor is a popular name for the “soup” in the greens. Thank you for the compliment and for visiting my blog. Please come again!
Pot liquor and cornbread is a meal all to its own.
