2 onions, diced

2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1 to 2 bay leaves

4 turnips, peeled and cubed

2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 pound fresh collard or turnip greens or 2 10-ounce packages frozen greens

1 cup chopped cabbage (optional)

Makes 12 servings.

In a large stock pot or Dutch oven, combine beans and 8 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let stand overnight. Drain and rinse.

Combine beans, pork shanks and 8 cups fresh water in the same pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, 30 to 45 minutes.
