Soul Food Mustard Greens Recipe

Soulful Mustard Greens Delight

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds fresh mustard greens, washed and chopped
  • 1/2 pound smoked ham hock or turkey neck
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until onions are translucent.
  2. Add smoked ham hock or turkey neck to the pot, allowing it to brown slightly.
  3. Pour in the broth, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Stir to combine.
  4. Add the chopped mustard greens to the pot, stirring until they begin to wilt.
  5. Season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce (if using). Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until greens are tender.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.

Notes

Adjust the level of hot sauce according to your preference for spiciness. For a vegetarian version, omit the smoked ham hock or turkey neck and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. Serve with cornbread for an authentic soul food experience.
