Simple Mustard Greens

Ingredients

• 1 lbs. mustard greens, stems and coarse ribs discarded.
• 1 large clove garlic minced.
• 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste.
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste.

1. Cook mustard greens in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring to submerge, until wilted and tender, about 5 minutes.
2. Transfer with tongs to a large bowl of cold water to stop cooking.
3. Drain greens in a colander, pressing to squeeze out excess moisture, then coarsely chop.

5. Add boiled greens, salt and pepper and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until heated through about 5 minutes.
