Preparation

STEP 1 OF 5
Squeeze the already cooked turnip greens. Chop them and place them in a bowl. Prepare a batter with water and flour (chickpea flour is also excellent). Add the batter (about two tablespoons) to the turnip greens and give it a stir.
STEP 2 OF 5
Then add the salt, soaked and squeezed bread, herbs to taste, and breadcrumbs little by little. Knead until you get a mixture that can be worked with your hands.
STEP 3 OF 5
Pour the oil into a pan. Add a clove of garlic in its skin and some chili pepper if you like. Heat it up and add the meatballs.
STEP 4 OF 5
Brown them well, turning them from time to time. Once ready, let them cool slightly and enjoy them.
STEP 5 OF 5
To make a complete dish, you can serve them with a chickpea cream. They are delicious!
