Braised Mustard Greens
Recipe courtesy The Neelys

3 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
1 pound bacon, chopped [try less, no one needs to eat 1/4 pound of bacon in their greens]
2 bunches mustard greens, chopped
3/4 cup chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

On medium heat, saute garlic and bacon in a large saute pan.

While bacon is cooking boil water in a large pot. Blanch mustard greens in boiling water until bright green. *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.

In a saute pan with the bacon, add greens and garlic. Stir together. Add chicken stock. Mix well together. Add salt and pepper, for taste, and let simmer for 5 minutes.
