Mustard Greens and Pork Casserole
Mustard greens and endive are tasty when cooked with pork. The fat in the pork seems take the bite out of the greens and mellow out their flavor.
1/2 pound ground pork or ¼ pound bacon (sliced)
1 onion, chopped
2 potatoes, cubed
1 bunch mustard greens or endive, coarsely chopped
¼ teaspoon thyme (or other herb)
Salt and pepper to taste
Sauté meat, potatoes and onion in a skillet. If using sausage, break it up as you brown it. When meat is brown or rendered, add greens and thyme.
Cover and simmer for 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally. Add 1/4 cup water or more if the mixture seems dry.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
