Simple. Weirdly awesome. Try with a mix of mustard greens and/or collards, kale, chard, turnip greens, broccoli greens, radish tops, any and all of it. Five-spice is a mixture of black mustard seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, whole fenugreek and kalonji seeds.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbs vegetable oil
  • 1/4 tsp five-spice
  • 2 cups thinly sliced onion
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 cups firmly packed slivered greens

Instructions

  1. 1
    Heat oil over medium-low in wide pan. Fry five spice (black mustard seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, fenugreek and kalonji seeds). Add onions and fry until translucent (2-3 m), stirring. Stir in turmeric and salt.
  2. 2
    Add greens. Cook covered on low heat until greens are limp and tender (5-10 m). Serve immediately.

Very adaptable recipe that offers a welcome change from the usual pork flavorings for greens!
