Ingredients
  

  • 1 Onion
  • 1 Red Bell Peppers
  • olive oil
  • 32 oz Unsalted Chicken Stock
  • Minced Garlic
  • Dashes Slap Ya Mama
  • 2 cups Clifty Farms Chopped Ham Desired amount to boil
  • 2- 16 oz Mustard Greens 32 oz of mustard greens rinsed and cleaned
  • 1/2 cup Clifty Farms Chopped Ham uncooked

Notes

Typically Salt meat is what we use in our Mustard Greens but I am using the Clifty Farm Country Ham that they sent me.
Ingredients:
  • Clifty Farms Ham
  • Slap Ya Mama
  • Olive Oil
  • Garlic
  • Onions
  • Red Bell Pepper
  • Chicken Stock
  • Mustard Greens
  • Onion Powder
  • Smoked Paprika
Directions:
  1. Dice the onions and Bell Peppers.
  2. Saute the onions and bell peppers in Olive Oil.
  3. Add water to a pot and add the desired amount of Clifty Farms Ham to the pot. Boil for about 15 minutes. The reason we do this is because it will take some of the salt out of the meat.
  4. Keep some of the water to add into the Mustard Greens.
  5. Add olive oil to pot and saute the mustard greens. Stirring often.
  6. Once lightly saute, add chicken stock. Stir.
  7. Add Chopped ham to the pot. Stir and cook on low - medium heat.
  8. Add 2 tbsp of chopped minced garlic. Stir.
  9. Add Smoked Paprika and Onion Powder. Stir.
  10. Ladel 3 scoops of water from the boiled ham into the pot with greens. Taste.
  11. Add a few dashes of slap ya mama for additional seasoning if needed. Stir.
  12. This next step is optional, I did this instead of adding salt. I added a 1/2 cup of the uncooked Clifty Farms country ham to the greens. Stir and cooked for an additional 10 minutes on low or until ham is cooked.
  13. Yum.
Great as a side dish or as a main dish.
Mustard Greens pairs nicely with Smothered Pork Chops and Gravy over rice. Yum!
