Yep, you guessed it, we received Mustard Greens in our CSA box. While I’ve made mustard greens before with lots of garlic and cream and they were quite yummy, we are trying to experience new things with the items in our vege CSA box. So, once again, my sleuther husband found this ridiculously yummy recipe.
Mind you the picture makes it look like slop. I know this. It’s okay, sometimes stuff that looks like slop really is delicious. I mean, of course, so long as that scary lunch lady isn’t the one serving it to you. Or, so long as you’re not in prison being served slop. In those cases, slop might actually taste exactly like what it looks like. Slop. But, in this case, the slop looks gross, but is actually the exact opposite of gross. I promise. Try it, you’ll like it. I wouldn’t lead you astray. Unless you’re mean, then I might lead you somewhere that mean people should go. But, you’re not mean, right?
Anywhooooo, here’s the slop, er Curry with Mustard Greens & Kidney Beans picture and the recipe that goes with it.
Curried Mustard Greens with Kidney Beans |
“This is a tasty and satisfying dish that is quicker than the usual preparation of greens with bacon. Serve on its own or over rice.” It isn’t the prettiest looking but definitely tasty. The flavors are very well balanced and perfectly balanced. I replaced the ghee with olive oil, added garlic, and changed the curry from 2 teaspoons to 2 tablespoons. Also, instead of adding the curry with the wet ingredients I prefer to add it just prior, so that the curry can get a little toasted flavor that really adds a little extra to the overall dish. For a truly healthy meal serve over wheat rice. |
