How to Prepare and Cook Wild Mustard Greens

[@jude1515]

Looks delicious.

As a plant geek, I declare those to be radish leaves! Raphanus sativus. Grows along the roadside in California, and it’s easy to spot due to the light purple four-petaled flower, usually with a stippling of white and black in each petal. The leaves definitely have the sulphuric bite of radish, and notably the prickly hairs. Good find!

[@maritimegardening4887]

I think you are right. Honestly - I never looked it up and just assumed it was wild mustard greens

[@bettydep777]

I love that you cultivate wild greens. How practical and natural!!! It looks delicious. Thank you for the video.

Thanks for watching!

Radish, mustard, and turnip all blend into each other in the garden really well. When all the brassicas went to seed, we could tell them apart by the colors of their flowers, even the rutabaga and kale had different intensities of yellow. Arugula has a very distinctive color flower, and we have three colors of radish flowers, including bright pink from two of the radish cultivars, which we're cross pollinating into a super ten-plant hybrid.

Wow, my mouth is actually watering looking at your finished dish. As I age I’m finding my tastebuds have opened up to more adventurous dishes. I tend to put a lot of greens in smoothies. Thanks for sharing your plant knowledge with us. 👍❤️😊

[@maritimegardening4887]

My pleasure

[@ForageGardener]

Absolutely! I harvested and sauteed a bunch of my radish greens and florets as they began to bolt. So tasty :)

[@maritimegardening4887]

Sounds great!

[@Gardengirlie04]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen these in my travels but will now look more carefully - thanks for sharing

[@maritimegardening4887]

Thanks for watching!

[@autumnofmyheart]

oh man, you are a hot chef. I can watch you all day and not get tired.

[@ThePurpleFlower]

That looks great! And is absolutely healthy too! Thank you for this video. I bought some today...they looked very fresh & inviting. I am almost done chopping it all and will cook it in a few minutes your way to eat with rice. Yummm!

[@maritimegardening4887]

Enjoy :)

I was given Ethiopian mustard aka texsel greens seeds so I planted them out. It has a much milder taste than other types of mustard. I live in a warm climate and they did well in the summer and they continue to produce. They don't need much cooking and the younger leaves can be eaten raw. I have some radishes ready to harvest soon and the leaves look healthy and attractive so I may just cook them up like you did with the mustard in this video.

[@maritimegardening4887]

Nice

[@odettestroebel3135]

Awesome video thank you. I use my wild mustard greens mainly for pesto. I make a pesto with the greens, flowers and immature seed pods, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic , salt and cashew nuts or flaxseeds. Pine nuts would work as well but they're super expensive where I live and even the flaxseed works wonderfully. Could also add parmesan cheese but I don't because I try and avoid dairy. You also get a smooth leafed wild mustard without the spiny leaves. Has a slight bitterness but that mellows with cooking and also mellows in pesto on if left overnight. Personally like my slightly bitter greens because they're so healthy for you and I like the taste. The bitterness is only about the level of olives.

[@kimberlyscott864]

I have wild black mustard in my yard and would love your pesto recipe if you would share, please?

[@leticiagr2222]

I’ve never tried mustard greens before. You make them look delicious. Nice video.

Thanks, Greg! You're a good cook...we loved your cole slaw recipe...getting ready to refrigerate the sauerkraut...haven't tasted it yet. 👍

[@maritimegardening4887]

Hope you enjoy

[@carlboone5936]

I was wondering if I could do something with these. They are prolific in my garden. Thanks for the video.

[@maritimegardening4887]

Enjoy!

[@duanemckamey9655]

Try adding Italian dressing to taste. This method works nicely on spinach as well.

[@maritimegardening4887]

Sounds great!

[@allon33]

The art of the slow explainer.

[@maritimegardening4887]

I call it thorough

[@luckychicav7981]

Hello Greg, mm’mm! All of the sudden I’m craving spinach.☺️ I guess because I’ve never had these and the finished dish looked like spinach, delicious.😉

[@maritimegardening4887]

So good

[@DsHomeyGarden]

I grow red and green mustard greens and they are LIKE HORSERADISH>>>OHHH I love the spice. Are your like mine/ Been waiting to watch so it's cut and come again time. Cook-on-man.

[@gabriellakadar]

Do you grow kohlrabi? I use the less huge leaves of these as greens. They taste better than the bulb IMO. Kohlrabi soup is really good. Tastes different than the other brassicas.

[@maritimegardening4887]

I've grown them in the past - and I agree - the greens are awesome

[@peter913]

I too grow kohlrabi - gigant variety. These have huge leaves which I too find delicious. I eat the bulb raw. I never cook the bulb.

[@gabriellakadar]

@@peter913 Same.

[@amysoddities]

When did you plant your mustards? Are they starting to bolt now?

[@maritimegardening4887]

Planted in april - yes they are all bolting now

[@danpan001]

Anyone tried cooking wild mustard greens? It taste a little bit bitter. I like it though.

[@d.7040]

Those are definitely radish greens.

[@hawghawg381]

Wash until the grit is gone. No matter how many times it takes.
