Ingredients
  • 2 oz. bacon, diced
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 bunches mustard greens, about 3 lb. total, stemmed and coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ lemon
  • Salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. In a fry pan over medium-high heat, saute the bacon until it is lightly browned and crisp (approx. 4-5 minutes). Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  2. Pour out all but 1 tbsp of the fat from the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter. When it has melted, add the garlic and sauté until fragrant (approx. 1 minute).
  3. Add the mustard greens and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens begin to wilt (approx. 3-4 minutes).
  4. Add the broth and cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens are tender but still bright green and the liquid reduces to a glaze (approx. 8-10 minutes).
  5. Transfer the greens to a warmed serving dish. Top with the crisp bacon and serve immediately.
