Mustard Greens With Ham Recipes

MUSTARD GREENS AND HAM WITH TOASTED COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Bring a 2-quart saucepot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Remove and discard the stems from the mustard greens and pile the greens together. Slice into 1-inch-wide ribbons.
• Add half of the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the couscous. Cook until browned and toasty, 3 to 4 minutes, shaking the skillet occasionally to get even browning. Transfer to a bowl until the water is boiling. Once boiling, add the couscous and cook until tender, about 13 minutes. Save 1/2 cup of the cooking water and drain the couscous.
• Add the remaining olive oil and the garlic to the same skillet. Stir constantly until the garlic begins to brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in the greens and ham all at once, season with salt and pepper and cook until the greens have wilted and the ham is warm, about 2 minutes.
• Add the couscous to the skillet along with the reserved cooking water, a few tablespoons at a time; the mixture should appear loose but not soupy. Serve as a main dish or as a side.

• Cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Cover and simmer for about 30 to 40 minutes longer.
• Taste and add more pepper sauce, salt, and pepper, as needed. *If you can't find pepper sauce or pepper vinegar in your area, you can make it quickly. Fill a washed and sterilized jar with small hot peppers. Bring about 1 cup of vinegar (as much as will cover the peppers) to a boil and then pour over the peppers. Cover and store in the refrigerator. For hotter pepper sauce, cut a slit in some of the peppers or slice a few of them. Some other types of greens that could be substituted include collard greens , kale , turnip greens , or a mixture of greens .
