This Week at Market Features Red Giant Mustard

This week we're featuring Red Giant Mustard. Dan Hutchinson, the fabulous chef at Il Fiasco, is going to use it in his demo. He cooks the most tantalizing dishes and hands out the recipe. All the ingredients used may be found right there in the market.
Red Giant Mustard is an Asian green, rich in nutrients, medicinal lore and tangy taste. For those who like it hot, eat it raw in salads or on sandwiches. It tastes almost like horseradish. I am personally going to shred the leaves, add them along with Young Living lemon essential oil to mayonnaise, and then use that to dress my fresh salmon from a 6th Street farmer's market vendor.
If you don't like it quite so hot, or if you just like variety, sauté it. You can start with a light oil of your choice, add the stems chopped fine, and add garlic and onion. (Yes we'll have garlic and onions at the market this week too). Then when those are translucent and cooked to your liking, add mustard greens, cover and turn on very low. In just a few minutes you have a very easy and tasty meal. Cooking the greens makes for a milder flavor. For more fun, add herbs that you've never tried before.
And, of course, we will have the mustard flowers there for your salads or to add beauty to any meal you've cooked.
Looking forward to seeing you there,
Aunt Farmer
