Mustardy Mustard Greens
These are delicious with barbecue chicken or pulled pork! Recipe adapted from Rachael Ray's Get Real Meals.
4 slices bacon, chopped [substitute canadian bacon]
1 1/2 tsp olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
3-4 cups chopped mustard greens (2 bunches--make sure to soak well and get all the grit out)
1/4 c yellow mustard
1/4 c cider vinegar
salt and pepper
1/2 c chicken broth
Fry the bacon in oil until done, remove pieces with a slotted spoon to a separate plate. In the oil, saute onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes. Add mustard greens, mustard, and vinegar. Toss well. When it's wilted some, salt and pepper it lightly. Add the chicken stock; bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium and cook 10-12 minutes or until the greens have lost their bitterness (TEST!). If the stock all boils off, you can add more. Sprinkle with the bacon and serve.
