Description
These Dijon Creamed Greens are cooked down in a garlic-infused creamy Dijon mustard sauce with red pepper flakes, nutmeg, and parmesan
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil - OR - 2 tbsp olive oil + 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 bundle green onions, chopped (about 54 g / 1 cup) – OR – 1/2 yellow onion, finely diced (about 52 g / 1 cup)
- 1/2 lb Lacinato kale (also called Italian or Dinosaur kale), ribs removed, chopped, and quickly rinsed (even if already clean)
- 1/2 lb Swiss chard, chopped and quickly rinsed (even if already clean)
- 4 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tbsp coarse ground Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp traditional Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
- pinch nutmeg
- 27 g (about 1/3 cup) parmesan cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Heat garlic-infused olive oil (or olive oil + minced garlic) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onions. If using green onions, sautee for about a minute or two before progressing to the next step. If using traditional yellow onion, sautee until they turn translucent and then slightly golden, about 8-10 minutes.
- Lower the heat to medium (or medium-low if using cast-iron) and add the slightly damp kale and chard in 3-4 batches, adding more to the pan as each batch begins to wilt and allow more space in the pan. Stir the kale regularly as it cooks down.
- Once all of the greens are included in the pan and they have begun to wilt, add the heavy cream, both varieties of Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, red pepper flakes, and cracked black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Once the greens have wilted to your desired tenderness, add the parmesan cheese, stirring to combine until melted into the greens. I find that the combination of parmesan with the Dijon makes this dish salty enough on its own without adding extra salt, however, I recommend tasting for salt and adjusting as desired. Serve warm. *See post above for serving ideas*
