Mustard Greens, Nepalese-style Recipe

Mustard Greens, Nepalese-style Notes

It can't get any easier to make greens with a kick.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons peanut or mustard oil (olive oil has too low a smoking point for this recipe)
• 1 pound mustard greens, cleaned and coarsely chopped
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

Serves / Yields

Preparation Instructions

Heat the oil until almost smoking. Add the greens and stir to prevent burning. Once wilted, add the spices. Stir thoroughly, turn the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 5-15 minutes.

Add a little hot water if the greens start to burn. Make sure all water has evaporated before serving.

Helpful Hints

This makes a great side dish with rice and curry.
