GREEN BEANS WITH MUSTARD SEEDS, CASHEWS AND COCONUT



Green Beans With Mustard Seeds, Cashews and Coconut image

This fragrant, deeply flavored green bean dish works as an intense side dish for a simple meal or as a meatless main course in its own right. Take care when adding the mustard seeds to the skillet - they can pop and jump out of the pan as they heat, so stand back. If you can't find large flakes of dried coconut (also sometimes called chips), you can substitute shredded coconut, as long as it's unsweetened. But ground coconut will be too fine to add the necessary texture.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh mustard greens and beans. If you can't find fresh mustard greens, you can use frozen or canned greens, but they won't have as much flavor.
  • To remove the bitterness from the mustard greens, blanch them before cooking. To blanch the greens, bring a large pot of water to a boil, and add the greens. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the greens are bright green and tender. Drain the greens and rinse them with cold water.
  • If you don't have time to blanch the greens, you can also soak them in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove some of the bitterness.
  • Add some diced bacon or ham to the pot for extra flavor.
  • Serve the mustard greens and beans with cornbread, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Mustard greens and beans is a delicious and nutritious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make the most of this classic Southern dish.
