Red Mustard with Sausage
From Stones River Market
<p>This recipe calls for sweet Italian sausage, but it is also delicious with locally produced pork sausage. Makes a nourishing main dish, with not much else needed.</p>Source: Found this on www.scrumptiousstreet.com (Entered by Kathleen and Ken Ferris)
Serves: Four
Ingredients
4 - 6 cups
red mustard greens
2
Shallots chopped
3 - 4 Tbsp
extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 lb.
4 sweet Italian sausages or ½ lb. lean pork sausage (cut in diagonal chunks or shaped into tiny balls and cooked ahead).
Step by Step Instructions
- Cook sausage thoroughly, browning slightly. Drain off fat on paper towels and set aside..
- Bring a large pot of water to boil, add a pinch (or three) of salt. Blanch the red mustard greens 2-3 minutes and drain, cool and chop.
- Heat a deep, heavy-bottom pan or skillet and add the olive oil. Heat to sauté, making sure the pan is well-coated. Add the shallots and sauté lightly.
- Add the blanched and chopped mustard greens and saute on high temperature, adding more olive oil if necessary. Your aim is to make the greens a little crispy without going dark brown or stringy. Saute for about 5 minutes.
- Toss in the cooked sausage and heat thoroughly a couple more minutes. Remove pan and serve immediately. Mashed potatoes, or baked sweet potatoes, make a nice accompaniment.
