Ingredients
- 12 ounces mustard greens, curly, stems removed
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 cup rice vinegar, unseasoned
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, dried
- 1 garlic clove
How to Make
-
Step 1: Chop the greens into 1/3 inch strips and, in a large bowl, toss them with the salt. Let the greens sit for 1 hour with a weight on top.
-
Step 2: Wash the greens well to rinse off some of the salt and remove dirt. Squeeze them very dry and stuff them into a very clean 1-pint jar with the garlic clove.
-
Step 3: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, red pepper flakes and stir just until sugar dissolves.
-
Step 4: Pour the brine over the greens until they are submerged completely.
-
Step 5: Cover with the lid, and let the greens sit on the countertop for 1 day. Move to the refrigerator, and let sit for 1 more day.
-
Step 6: Enjoy! Kept chilled, these greens will last at least a month.
