Ingredients
- 1 bunch mustard greens, washed and chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Sauté Mustard Greens: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add chopped mustard greens, season with salt and pepper, and cook until wilted, about 5-7 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Prepare Cornbread: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix almond milk and maple syrup. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed.
- Bake Cornbread: Pour the cornbread batter into a greased baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Assemble the Bowl: Once the cornbread is done, cut it into pieces. Serve the sautéed mustard greens in a bowl, topped with warm cornbread pieces.
