Sautéed Carrots and Mustard Greens

Sautéed Carrots and Mustard Greens

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp. olive oil
  • 1 bunch fresh carrots, trimmed and sliced ¼ inch thick on the bias
  • Coarsely ground pepper
  • Coarse salt
  • 1 bunch tender mustard greens, chopped, rinsed and drained (but not dried)
  • Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 fresh lemon wedge

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the carrots; sprinkle generously with pepper and a pinch of salt. Cook without stirring 2 to 3 minutes, then toss and cook until just fork-tender, 2-3 more minutes.
  2. Remove carrots from pan and set aside.
  3. Add greens to pan, stir, then cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until just tender. Return carrots to the pan, sprinkle with a grating of nutmeg, add a squirt of lemon juice and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings.

Notes

Note: Do not overcook the mustard greens. Add a pinch of sugar to take out the bitterness.
