ASIAN-INSPIRED MUSTARD GREENS
I don't know what it is about this combination of flavors, but I could eat these every day. Even though it contains the right ingredients in the right proportions for a teriyaki sauce, which is what I was aiming for originally, to describe the flavor as such would be inaccurate. I'm usually perfectly happy with this and a bowl of rice as a meal in itself, but when I'm forced to share, it pairs well with roasted chicken or just about any kind of pork.

Steps:
- Place the sesame seeds into a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir constantly until the seeds are toasted a golden brown and make a continuous crackling noise, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the seeds immediately to a bowl to stop the cooking process. Set seeds aside.
- Place sesame oil in the hot skillet, and heat until it just begins to smoke (this should happen very fast). Place mustard greens into the hot oil, and pour in water. With a spatula, gently toss the greens until they are wilted and reduced in quantity, about 2 minutes. Mix in garlic, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sake, and sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stir until sugar has dissolved, and cover the skillet. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the greens are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. If a thicker sauce is desired, remove greens with a slotted spoon, and cook the liquid down to desired thickness; return greens to the skillet, toss in the pan juices, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

NEELYS' BRAISED MUSTARD GREENS WITH BACON AND RAISINS
Recipe from Down Home with the Neelys from the Food Network. Yum, yum, yum! They serve this as a side dish with flank steak and mashed potatoes for a complete romantic meal. The chicken stock and bacon take away some of the bitterness of the greens (which I am convinced that you either love or hate) and the sweetness of the raisins is a great complimentary flavor!

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender mustard greens: Look for greens that are deeply colored and have no signs of wilting or yellowing.
- Wash the greens thoroughly:Mustard greens can be gritty, so it's important to wash them thoroughly before cooking. Rinse them under cold water, swishing them around to remove any dirt or debris.
- Use a large pot: Mustard greens wilt down a lot during cooking, so it's important to use a large pot to prevent them from overcrowding.
- Cook the greens over low heat: This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Add a little bit of vinegar or lemon juice: This will help to brighten the flavor of the greens.
- Season the greens to taste: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
- Serve the greens with your favorite sides: Mustard greens are a great side dish for roasted chicken, pork, or fish.
