Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced, or to taste

  • 2 tablespoons water

  • 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon white sugar

  • ¾ teaspoon dry mustard powder

  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • 1 pound mustard greens, washed and chopped

  • 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini (white kidney) beans, drained

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. Combine water, vinegar, sugar, mustard powder, and pepper flakes in a bowl until sugar has dissolved. Add mustard greens to onion mixture; pour in vinegar mixture. Stir to combine, cover Dutch oven, and bring to a boil. Simmer greens until liquid has been absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes.

  3. Stir in beans until heated through; season with salt and black pepper.

Cook’s Note

I like this better the next day. If using collard greens, I recommend making it a day in advance to reduce their bitter taste.

This recipe can be made with any type of greens (collards, turnip, kale, beet). When using collard greens, increase water to 1/2 cup and cooking time to 20 minutes (or until liquid has cooked off).
