Braised Mustard Greens Recipes

Steps:

• Pour oil into a large high-sided skillet, add garlic, and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until garlic is barely golden, about 2 minutes.
• Add a third of the greens to skillet and toss to coat with oil and garlic. Cover skillet with a lid and cook until greens are slightly wilted, about 2 minutes. Uncover skillet; add sake and another third of greens and toss to combine. Cover and cook until greens are slightly wilted, about 2 minutes, then add remaining greens. Cover and cook until slightly wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove lid from skillet, add lemon zest to greens, and continue to cook, stirring often, until greens are completely wilted and tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Season with salt.
• Transfer greens to a serving bowl and top with sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Blanch mustard greens in a 4-quart heavy pot of boiling salted water 1 minute. Drain greens in a colander and wipe pot dry.
• Cook garlic in oil in pot over moderate heat, stirring, until pale golden, about 30 seconds. Add greens and water and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, another 2 minutes. Add half of the mustard greens, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until the greens are wilted and reduced in volume by half, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining greens and season with more salt and pepper; cook again until the greens are wilted and evenly incorporated with the onions and garlic.
• Add the chicken stock, vinegar and ham hock to the pot and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low, cover, and cook at a slow simmer for 1 1/2 hours, stirring halfway through. The greens are done when the stock has almost completely reduced and the ham hocks are tender when pierced with a pairing knife.
• Remove the ham hocks to a cutting board and pull the meat from the bone with two forks. Discard any fat and skin, and then stir the shredded meat back into the greens. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• On medium heat, saute bacon in a large saute pan. When it is almost done, add your sliced garlic for a minute or two. Drain drippings when cooked and set aside.
• While bacon is cooking, boil water in a large pot.
• Blanch mustard greens in boiling water until bright green (about 2 minutes). *Cook's Note: Add a few greens a little bit at a time into boiling water. Make room for more greens by pushing down with a spoon. Drain greens.
• Add greens to your saute pan full of bacon/garlic. Stir together.
• Add chicken stock, raisins, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well together.
• Let simmer for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• In a very large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the mustard greens, stirring and working them down into the pot until they all fit. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover the pot, lower the heat to medium and continue to cook until the greens are very tender, about 10 minutes more. Remove from the heat, stir in the vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
