Here is a recipe that is a great addition to any meal. Yes, I have had Mustard Greens for breakfast.
Serves: Serves 4
Ingredients
1/2 cup
Thinly sliced onions
2 cloves
Garlic, minced
1 Tbsp
Olive Oil
1 lb
Mustard Greens, washed and torn into pieces
2 - 3 Tbsp
Chicken or Vegetable broth, vegetarian option
1/4 tsp
Salt
1/4 tsp
Pepper
1/4 tsp
Dark Sesame Oil
Step by Step Instructions
- Tips for Preparing Mustard Greens Rinse mustard greens under cold running water and cut into 1/2" slices for quick and even cooking. To get the most health benefits from mustard greens, we recommend letting them sit for a minimum of 5 minutes before cooking. Sprinkling with lemon juice before letting them sit may be able to help activate their myrosinase enzymes and increase formation of beneficial isothiocyanates in the greens.
- 1. In a large sauté pan, sauté onions in olive oil over medium heat until the onions begin to brown and caramelize, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook a minute more, until fragrant.
- 2. Add the mustard greens and broth and cook until the mustard greens are just barely wilted. Toss with sesame oil. Season with salt and pepper.
