Ingredients
- 6 pounds mustard greens (6-8 bunches), tough stems and ribs removed
- 3 Tablespoons grapeseed oil
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
- 1 1/4 cup half and half
- 8 ounces Neufatchel cheese, cut into pieces
- Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Procedure
- Bring a very large stockpot of water to a boil.
- Prepare a large bowl of ice water.
- Add half of the mustard greens to the boiling water, a little at a time, and push them down into the water. Let the water return to a boil, and then cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
- Using tongs, transfer the greens to the bowl with the ice water to reserve.
- Repeat with the remaining greens. Drain the greens very well and squeeze them dry in a kitchen towel.
- Chop finely and set aside.
- In a large high-sided skillet, heat the grapeseed oil.
- Add the onions and garlic and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 6 minutes.
- Stir in the half and half and the Neufchatel and simmer; stir occasionally, until reduced by half, about 20 minutes.
- Add the greens to the cream mixture and toss until warmed through, about 3 minutes.
- Season generously with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
