Greens

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Prepare Mustard Greens

    Rinse the mustard greens under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Shake off excess water and chop the greens into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or garlic press.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

  2. 4

    Sauté Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.

  3. 5

    Cook Mustard Greens

    Add the chopped mustard greens to the skillet. Toss to coat them in the garlic and oil. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the greens are wilted and tender.

  4. 6

    Season the Greens

    Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes over the cooked greens. Stir well to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

  5. 7

    Add Lemon Juice

    Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the greens. Toss to combine.
