Mustard Greens with Bacon

This recipe packs a punch with robust flavors and impressive nutrition. Mustard greens are not only tasty but also loaded with vitamins and minerals. Let’s get started!

Ingredients

1 pound mustard greens, washed and chopped
4 slices of bacon, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup chicken broth (optional)

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until it becomes crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain the excess grease.
In the same skillet, with the bacon grease, add the chopped onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and continue to cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Next, add the chopped mustard greens to the skillet. If you prefer a bit more moisture, you can pour in the chicken broth at this stage. Stir well to combine the greens with the onion and garlic.
Season the greens with salt and pepper according to your taste. Cook them for about 5-8 minutes, or until they are wilted and tender.
Once the mustard greens are cooked, return the crispy bacon to the skillet. Stir everything together until well mixed.
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve your Mustard Greens with Bacon warm as a delightful side dish. Enjoy!

This quick and easy recipe not only shows how to make the most of mustard greens but also highlights the luscious flavor of bacon. It’s perfect for family dinners, gatherings, or any time you want to impress your guests with something a little special. Give it a try and savor every bite!
