Anniversary of five years and new southern Greens recipe

Happy 5th Birthday, FFVK!

On this day in 2006, I decided to start a blog.  At the time, I barely new was it a blog, but that seemed to be a way to customize my Web site, so I decided to do a test.  I had no idea that simply record what I was cooking would very quickly evolve in the creation and sharing of my own recipes or quick alignment of photos at the table for dinner with my point eventually lead to a room filled with photography equipment and "Accessories" (formerly flat).  I wrote three anniversary posts now (one, two and three years are in the archives, but I somehow missed last year), and it feels like I have said everything there is to say on occasion, but something repeated: without you, readers, this blog would not exist.  Knowing that there are people read what I write, the cuisine of what I'm cooking and be (hopefully) entertained the pictures I made me strive to be a writer better, recipe developer and photographer.  I cease to be educated and inspired by your comments and e-mails, and I know that revenues are not created in a vacuum: it takes a village to raise a mini tofu quiche, in all its myriad variations.  So thank you all.  I really could not do without want you - and.

In gratitude, I offer this bouquet of Red mustard I purchased week last Rainbow, the co-operative food natural here in Jackson.  "Todd in the production department kindly responded to my it than the heck is this?"information on the Greens and their producers, a farmer from local tomato growing many varieties of Greens for winter.  Todd informed mustard with turnip green, to balance their bite spray, so I bought a bunch of individual cooking.  Some even turnip greens had attached tiny turnip:

Baby Turnip

Traditionally southerners Cook Greens by their simmering water spiced ham until this only very tender, often an hour or more, and the older Greens, make a similar vegan version with caramelized onions and hickory salt for seasoning smokey without harming a pig.  But these mustard greens and turnips were young, very soft and thin stems, so I opted for the quick-cooking of their in a little broth.  I cut turnips tiny shattered and added to the pan with the onions and thrown in a bit of ginger for the perfume and bite.  But the real excitement is provided by the handful of dried cranberries, I added to the Greens just before serving.  Their sweet, subacid flavour completed green apricots just perfectly.  The Southerner, has at least a new favorite way to prepare Greens.

New Southern Greens

(printable version)

Bouillon of vegetables 1/2 cup (I used non-poulet broth of the Imagine)
1/2 small onion, minced
3 cloves garlic minced
root of chopped ginger 1/2 tbsp
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
* Green 10 ounces (about 2 small clusters mustard, turnip or collard green), stemmed and chopped
1 teaspoon white balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons dried cranberries

Prepare in advance your vegetables because this recipe moves quickly. Thoroughly wash the Greens, remove and throw major shoots and coarsely chop the leaves.

Heat a large, deep skillet. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable broth and onions. Cook until the onions soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and an another splash of broth, if necessary. Cook for 2 minutes.

Add 1/4 cup of broth and stir the paprika. Add Greens and stir quickly before covering closely. Cook until Greens wilt but retain their bright colours, stirring and adding broth needed more than to keep them moist. Mix vinegar, cranberries and salt to taste. Serve warm.

* Green weighed after trimming and cutting.
