Q: I love Taqueria del Sol in Decatur, and my absolute favorite thing is their spicy turnip greens. I order them every time I go --- they are fantastic! I am moving to Florida soon, and I just can't bear the thought of not being able to get those turnip greens. Do you think you could request the recipe?
--- Katherine Scott, Decatur
A: The recipe for these greens is named after chef Eddie Hernandez. The greens get their heat from chile de arbol, a relative of the cayenne pepper that is very hot. You'll need to buy the dried peppers (available at many supermarkets) and grind them in a blender (remove the stem before grinding). The turnip greens cook twice -- once on their own, then sauteed with onions, garlic and tomatoes.
