Add this to a growing list of great ways to cook greens (and look at those gorgeous stems, too!) without fat. Here the magic flavor ingredient is mustard.The inspiration came from My Adventures in the Breadbox (2007: a now-defunct food blog) who last week served kale alongside pork tenderloin.
GREENS & STEMS with MUSTARD
Hands-on time: 15 minutes (mostly for cleaning which can be done ahead)
Time to table: 20 minutes
Serves 4
1/2 cup (or more but start with 1/4 cup) fat-free chicken broth
Greens and stems, about 1 1/2 pounds (tonight, used the greens from 4 beets and the stems from 2, think that's about the right proportion)
1 large shallot, chopped
2 tablespoons good mustard
Salt & pepper to taste
Heat the a large, deep skillet. Add about 1/4 cup of the broth just before adding the first stems. Rinse and remove the stems, chop into small pieces and add to the skillet. Cook the stems while rinsing and chopping the leaves. Add the shallot and the mustard and let cook until the shallot just begins to soften. Add the leaves in batches, letting each one cook a bit before turning under and adding another. Once all the greens are added, cover and let simmer until fully cooked, adding broth as needed to cook quickly without burning. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
