Neelys' Braised Mustard Greens With Bacon and Raisins image

Recipe from Down Home with the Neelys from the Food Network. Yum, yum, yum! They serve this as a side dish with flank steak and mashed potatoes for a complete romantic meal. The chicken stock and bacon take away some of the bitterness of the greens (which I am convinced that you either love or hate) and the sweetness of the raisins is a great complimentary flavor!

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
1/3 lb sliced bacon, cut in 1/2 inch chunks
2 bunches mustard greens, spines removed and leaves roughly chopped
3/4 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup golden raisin
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • On medium heat, saute bacon in a large saute pan. When it is almost done, add your sliced garlic for a minute or two. Drain drippings when cooked and set aside.
  • While bacon is cooking, boil water in a large pot.
  • Blanch mustard greens in boiling water until bright green (about 2 minutes). *Cook's Note: Add a few greens a little bit at a time into boiling water. Make room for more greens by pushing down with a spoon. Drain greens.
  • Add greens to your saute pan full of bacon/garlic. Stir together.
  • Add chicken stock, raisins, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well together.
  • Let simmer for 5 minutes.
