Yield Makes 6 (side dish) servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (1-pound) piece slab bacon
3 quarts water
3 pound mixed greens such as collard, mustard, and turnip
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • Score bacon 2 or 3 times (do not cut all the way through), then simmer in water in a wide 6-quart pot, covered, 1 hour.
  • Discard any coarse stems from greens and coarsely chop leaves.
  • Add greens, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper to bacon and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together flour, cornmeal, brown sugar, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, then blend in butter well with your fingertips. Stir in milk until just combined. Let dough stand 5 minutes.
  • With wet hands, roll rounded tablespoons of dough into balls.
  • Gently place dumplings on top of greens. Cook, covered and undisturbed, over low heat until greens are very tender and silky and dumplings are puffed and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Discard bacon. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender mustard greens: Look for leaves that are deep green in color and have no signs of wilting or yellowing.
  • Wash the mustard greens thoroughly: To remove any dirt or debris, rinse the greens under cold water several times.
  • Soak the mustard greens in cold water for 30 minutes: This will help to reduce their bitterness.
  • Cook the mustard greens over low heat: This will help to preserve their nutrients and flavor.
  • Add a little bit of vinegar or lemon juice to the cooking water: This will help to brighten the flavor of the greens.
  • Serve the mustard greens with a side of cornbread or rice: This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
