Butter-Blanched Mustard Greens

Recipe adapted from Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Home Cooking with Jean-Georges: My Favorite Simple Recipes (Clarkson Potter)

Yield: 4 servings


Cook Time: 10 minutes

  • INGREDIENTS
  • 1 pound mustard greens

    12 tablespoons (1½ sticks) unsalted butter

    ⅓ cup kosher salt, plus more to taste

    Mustard oil, optional

    Freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. Remove and discard the ribs of the mustard greens. Cut the leaves into ¼-inch strips. Wash and dry the leaves well.

2. In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add the butter and salt and return to a rapid boil. Add the greens and cook, stirring, until wilted and tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle with a little mustard oil, if you like, and season with salt and pepper.
