BRAISED MUSTARD GREENS WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Blanch mustard greens in a 4-quart heavy pot of boiling salted water 1 minute. Drain greens in a colander and wipe pot dry.

BRAISED MUSTARD GREENS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, another 2 minutes. Add half of the mustard greens, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until the greens are wilted and reduced in volume by half, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining greens and season with more salt and pepper; cook again until the greens are wilted and evenly incorporated with the onions and garlic.
• Add the chicken stock, vinegar and ham hock to the pot and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low, cover, and cook at a slow simmer for 1 1/2 hours, stirring halfway through. The greens are done when the stock has almost completely reduced and the ham hocks are tender when pierced with a pairing knife.
• Remove the ham hocks to a cutting board and pull the meat from the bone with two forks. Discard any fat and skin, and then stir the shredded meat back into the greens. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

• Heat chorizo in the bottom of the pressure cooker with the top off until browned.
• Add beef stock to the pot, making sure to scrape sausage off the sides. Add some of the greens to the pot and mix to cover as much as possible with the chorizo/stock mixture.
• Add the remaining greens to the pot, pressing down to close the pot. This will be well past the "maximum" line, but don't worry as they will wilt significantly below the line by the time they're done.
• Seal the pressure cooker and cook for 15 minutes. Stream cold water on the lid - avoiding the vent! - to cool the pressure cooker enough to safely open.
• Drain the greens to remove excess moisture. Season with pepper, garlic salt, and hot sauce.
