We enjoyed these greens but I didn’t like the several steps to get the results. I didn’t add all of the raisins because I was afraid we wouldn’t like the taste but we did. I would add more next time.

I never thought all those greens would fit in the pot?!
I had to do it in stages, but it finally all fit.
Not loving raisins, so I added some sugar.

Wow! This was packed with flavor.

Very tasty mustard green recipe!! I only use about 4 slices of bacon and just a splash of stock . The flavor profile is delicious !!!
Robert Arroyo
INcredibly delicious. The raisins were a nice touch and added sweetness. I didn’t boil the greens to retain nutrients. Also, I added some white vinegar at the end. Perfect. I’ve never had mustard greens taste so good before. Also, use less bacon. :

This was my first experience with mustard greens, and found the recipe delicious. At the suggestion of previous reviewers I did cut the bacon back and used 1/2 lb, and added about 2T of Balsamic vinegar at the end. Yummy! Thanks Neelys

I made this with kale and half the bacon and it was delicious. It our families new favorite kale recipe!

Oh my goodness this is by far the best recipe I have ever tried. I used collard greens instead of mustard greens because our local grocer did not carry mustard greens. But the substitution was better in my opinion.
John Mitchell
My family loved this recipe. I did cut down on bacon and sub collard greens for mustard greens and it was very good.

I agree with the review that said there is too much bacon…use 1/2 lb. or even 1/4 lb. I also added a splash to balsamic vinegar just before serving. It was delicious! I love Gina & Pat! As a NC Tarheel, I grew my own mustard green (organic) and they were so good using this recipe. I will definitely use it again…and next time, our dog won’t get so much bacon.
