Potatoes and Mustard Greens with Ginger and Garlic

The CSA box gave us a tiny bit of mustard greens this week. With an overabundance of potatoes, this seemed like a perfect side dish. It is a bit spicy, so you'll need a flavourful main dish to hold up to this side. Because I had more potatoes than mustard greens, I went a little heavy on the potatoes and a little light on the greens. The greens then became more of a garnish than anything else, but they tasted great. I scaled in half as well, but the original is below.

Potatoes and Mustard Greens with Ginger and Garlic (from 660 Curries)

Ingredients

450g mustard greens, finely chopped
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp coarse salt

1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes, ginger, garlic, and stir-fry until potatoes are light brown around edge, 8 - 10 minutes.

3. Stir in tomato paste, salt, and cayenne. Pour in 1 cup water. Cook, covered, over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until potatoes are tender and sauce has thickened slightly, 18 - 20 minutes.
