Oldways Zesty Brussels Sprouts & Collard Greens Sauté

Brussels sprouts are from the same Brassicacae family as collard greens, kale, and cabbage. They first came to America through French Louisiana and have remained a part of Southern cuisine ever since. Here we blend Brussels Sprouts with African heritage staples—collard greens and pecans. A blend of Dijon mustard and oregano gives this dish an extra boost of flavor.

1 bunch of collard greens, chopped into thin strips

1 bag of Brussels sprouts (roughly 12 ounces), chopped into halves

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 medium red onion, sliced into thin half moons

6 cloves of garlic, minced

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon fresh oregano (minced) or ¼ teaspoon dried oregano

Pinch of salt

½ cup pecans

Instructions

  1. To soften the greens and Brussels sprouts, first steam them in 1 cup of water in a covered pan, until tender (10 minutes).
  2. Drain water from pan, move Brussels sprouts and collards into a covered bowl.
  3. Heat the olive oil on medium heat in the pan.
  4. Add the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until onions are translucent.
  5. Add garlic, cook for 1 minute.
  6. Stir in the mustard and oregano.
  7. Add collards and Brussels sprouts to the pan and toss with spoon, to coat.
  8. Add a pinch of salt along with the pecans, and cook on medium heat for 5-7 minutes, roughly stirring once per minute so that the onions, garlic, mustard, and pecans cover all the vegetables.
