Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 cup heavy cream
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Salt
3 to 4 pounds young greens, like collards, kale, chard or mustard, stemmed and finely shredded.

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over high heat until it foams. Add the garlic and shallot and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until softened and golden, 5 minutes. Add the cream, bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 10 minutes. Add the nutmeg and salt to taste. Using a hand blender, purée until smooth.
  • In a large pot, heat the remaining 4 tablespoons butter over high heat until it foams. Add the greens and cook, stirring constantly, until tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and add the cream mixture. Lower the heat, cover and let simmer until cooked through, 5 minutes more. Taste for nutmeg and salt, season to taste and serve hot.

CREAMED GREENS POTPIE



Creamed Greens Potpie image

This one-skillet, vegetarian pot pie trades the traditional chicken filling for creamy, garlicky greens. Hearty greens turn silky in a mixture of heavy cream, garlic, shallot, thyme and Parmesan under a lid of flaky puff pastry. Using store-bought puff pastry in place of homemade pie crust ensures a perfect result every time. It also steers pot pie into the weeknight-possible category. Greens and heavy cream require a good amount of salt to taste like their best selves, so taste and season well when the recipe says to do so.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
1 shallot, peeled and finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
2 1/2 pounds mixed hearty greens (like kale, spinach, mustard greens or collard greens), stems removed and leaves torn into large pieces
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
  • In a medium (10-inch) oven-proof skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic, shallot and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Add a handful of the greens and season lightly with salt and pepper. Using tongs, toss the greens in the butter until wilted. Repeat, making sure to season each batch, until all the greens are added and wilted. (They will eventually all fit.)
  • Stir in the flour until it disappears into the greens, then add the cream and hot sauce and stir well to combine. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • On a lightly floured work surface or the bottom of another baking sheet, use a lightly floured rolling pin, roll and trim the puff pastry into a 12-inch circle. If you find the pastry contracts when you roll it, give it a few minutes between each roll to relax a little.
  • Transfer the skillet to the lined baking sheet. Drape the puff pastry over the skillet so that there is about 1/2-inch hang over on all sides. (Trim any sides that have more than an inch.) Brush the beaten egg onto the puff pastry, then cut four large slits into the pastry. Bake until the puff pastry is puffed and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees and bake until the pastry is cooked through and the filling is bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. (If the pastry is getting too dark, cover with foil.) Let sit for a few minutes before diving in.

CREAMED MUSTARD GREENS



CREAMED MUSTARD GREENS image

Categories     Vegetable     Side     Braise     Quick & Easy

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 9

Coarse salt
6 pounds mustard greens, rinsed well, tough stems and ribs removed
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup half-and-half
8 ounces Neufchatel cheese, cut into pieces
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add half of the mustard greens to the boiling water, a little at a time, pushing them down into the water. Return to a boil and cook greens until tender, about 10 minutes. Using tongs, transfer greens to ice-water bath. Repeat process with remaining greens. Drain and squeeze dry with a kitchen towel. Finely chop and set aside. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until softened, about 6 minutes. Stir in half-and-half and Neufchatel. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add greens to skillet and cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper; serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender mustard greens: Look for greens that are deeply colored and have no signs of wilting or yellowing.
  • Wash the mustard greens thoroughly: Be sure to remove any dirt or grit from the leaves.
  • Blanch the mustard greens before cooking: This will help to remove some of the bitterness from the greens and make them more tender.
  • Use a flavorful broth to cook the mustard greens: Chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water can be used, but a flavorful broth will add more depth to the dish.
  • Add some cream or milk to the mustard greens: This will help to create a creamy, rich sauce that coats the greens.
  • Season the mustard greens to taste: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all classic seasonings that go well with mustard greens.
  • Serve the mustard greens with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, cornbread, or roasted vegetables are all great options.

Conclusion:

Creamed mustard greens are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and healthy meal that the whole family will enjoy.
