Green Mustard Emulsion Recipes

MUSTARD GREENS WITH CHEDDAR

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add 2 bunches stemmed mustard greens and cook until wilted. Add 3/4 cup chicken broth and cook 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Toss 1 chopped beefsteak tomato with olive oil and salt and pepper. Top the greens with the tomato and shaved cheddar.

DIJON MUSTARD DRESSING (5 MINUTES!)

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and kosher salt.
• Whisk in the olive oil 1 tablespoon at a time until a creamy emulsion forms. Store refrigerated and bring to room temperature before serving (keeps at least 2 weeks).

GREEN SALAD WITH RADISHES AND CREAMY MUSTARD DRESSING

Steps:

• For the dressing:
• In a medium saucepan, bring a few inches of water to a boil. Using a slotted spoon, gently lower in the eggs and cook for 9 minutes (or 8 minutes if you like the yolk a little softer). While the eggs cook, set up a bowl of ice water in the sink; transfer the just boiled eggs to the ice bath.
• Allow the eggs to cool in ice water, then peel them and separate the yolks from the whites. Reserve the whites for another use and push the yolks through a a sieve or a "spider" spatula into a medium mixing bowl. Add the mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; stir until smooth. Gradually whisk in the oil, creating a creamy, mayo-like emulsion with a bit more texture. Season and add additional lemon juice to taste.
• For the salad:
• Put the lettuces and radishes in a salad bowl and spoon over most of the dressing. Season with a sprinkle of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Gently but thoroughly toss the salad with your hands to coat the leaves well. Taste a leaf and add more dressing, lemon, salt, or pepper as needed. Serve immediately.

Steps:
