Butter-Blanched Southern Greens

Rating:

Ingredients

1/2 lb Southern greens (we used the Trader Joe's Southern Greens Blend of mixed mustard greens, turnip greens, collards, and spinach), thick stems removed and cut into 1/2-inch wide strips

4 tbsp unsalted butter

3 tbsp kosher salt

mustard oil (optional - we didn't use it)

freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Add water 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 mustard oil (if using) and season with s&p. Serve.
