Why This Recipe Works
Mustard greens offer a deep, comforting flavor that is even more robust than spinach. Pureed into a thick, hummus-like consistency and topped with butter, they are the ultimate soul food.
Instructions
Boil the cleaned and sliced mustard leaves in water for 15 minutes until completely tender. Drain them, then puree in a blender with just enough liquid to create a thick, smooth consistency.
Fry the onions in oil until translucent. Stir in finely diced ginger, garlic, chiles, and cornmeal, cooking for 5 minutes to develop the base flavors.
Incorporate the pureed greens, salt, and butter into the pan. Simmer on low for 8 minutes, adjusting with water until it reaches the consistency of thick hummus.
