Frijoles con Mostaza

If you cannot find very young greens, use young tender spinach instead.

2 pounds tender wild mustard (mostaza) or baby spinach

1/4 cup water

2 Tbsp olive oil

1/2 cup chopped onion

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 tsp crushed red chile flakes or ground red chile to taste

1 tsp salt

4 cups cooked pinto beans

Place the greens and water in a pot. Cover tightly and steam for 5 minutes. Drain. Let cool a few minutes, then squeeze out the excess water. Chop the greens.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 5 minutes. Stir in the minced greens, chile flakes (or ground chile) and salt.

Simmer for a few minutes, then add the beans. Cook for 5 minutes just to blend flavors.
