Mustard Greens With Straw Mushrooms

1. 1

   Discard tough outer leaves and cut off tough base end of each set of mustard greens.

2. 2

   Also remove the soft leafy portion, leaving the firm center portions.

3. 3

   Cut these pieces into 1 1/2-inch lengths.

4. 4

   Wash and drain well.

5. 5

   Boil a small amount of water (enough to later cover greens).

6. 6

   Add the greens.

7. 7

   Let the water return to a boil; drain greens and drop immediately into cold water, then drain well (this blanching tenderizes the tougher mustard greens).
