For a richer flavor, use chicken or vegetable broth instead of water. A pinch of smoked paprika adds a wonderful depth to the dish. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preferred level of spice.
Earthy mustard greens and creamy cannellini beans come together in this simple yet flavorful dish. A delightful side or satisfying vegetarian main, perfect with crusty bread and a robust red wine.
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Combine water, vinegar, sugar, mustard powder, and pepper flakes in a bowl until sugar has dissolved. Add mustard greens to onion mixture; pour in vinegar mixture. Stir to combine, cover Dutch oven, and bring to a boil. Simmer greens until liquid has been absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes.
Stir in beans until heated through; season with salt and black pepper.
