Mustard Green and Beans

Mustard Greens and Beans


This recipe is not only easy to prepare but also packs a lot of flavors and nutrition, making it a great addition to your meal rotation!

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 bunch mustard greens (about 1 pound), washed and roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 ounces) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup vegetable broth or water
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Mustard Greens:
    • Rinse the mustard greens thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. Chop the greens roughly, discarding any tough stems.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics:
    • In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and slightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
    • Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  3. Cook the Mustard Greens:
    • Add the chopped mustard greens to the pan. It might seem like a lot at first, but the greens will cook down significantly. Stir frequently and cook until the greens start to wilt.
  4. Add Beans and Broth:
    • Stir in the cannellini beans and vegetable broth. If you like a bit of heat, add the crushed red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Simmer the Dish:
    • Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes, or until the greens are tender and the flavors are melded together. If the dish seems too dry, add a bit more broth or water to maintain a moist consistency.
  6. Season and Serve:
    • Finish the dish by stirring in the apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    • Serve hot, either as a side dish or as a main course over cooked grains like rice or quinoa.
