Equipment
- Skillet or wok
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or any neutral oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 small shallots (sliced)
- 6 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
- ½ pound mustard greens (about 18 large leaves, coarsely chopped)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat oil in a skillet or wok on medium high heat. Add the mustard seeds and wait for them to sputter. Stir in the red pepper flakes.
- Add shallots to the pan and sauté for a couple of minutes until the shallots soften.
- Stir in the garlic and sauté for another minute.
- Add the mustard greens to the pan and mix them in with the spices and garlic. Add salt to taste. The mustard greens will wilt immediately and begin to release some moisture.
- Cover the pan and cook five minutes or until the mustard greens are tender. You can cook them longer depending on how soft you want them to be. I like them with a little texture and bite.
- Serve the mustard greens hot or at room temperature.
