Ingredients

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 yellow onion

2 cloves garlic

2 cups vegetable broth*

1 lb fresh mustard greens, stemmed and cut

1/2 Tbsp smoked paprika

1/2 Tbsp sugar

Freshly cracked pepper

Pinch red pepper flakes

Directions

If your mustard greens did not come pre-cut and with stems removed, run a sharp knife down the center of each leaf to remove the woody stems. Cut the remaining leaves into 2-inch strips. Rinse the cut leaves well in a colander. Slice the onion thinly and mince the garlic. Sauté the onion and garlic in a large pot over medium heat with the olive oil until the onions are soft . Add the vegetable broth and heat until steaming. Add the cut mustard greens, a couple handfuls at a time, stirring until wilted and there is room to add more to the pot. Once they're all mostly wilted, add the smoked paprika, sugar, some freshly cracked pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired. Place a lid on the pot, allow the broth to come to a simmer, then turn down to medium-low. Let the pot simmer for at least 30 minutes, or longer if desired. Taste the greens and adjust the salt, pepper, or sugar if needed . Serve the greens with a slotted spoon to leave the excess broth behind.
