This vibrant mustard greens with chipotle and bacon recipe offers a sophisticated way to enjoy leafy brassicas. By briefly blanching the curly mustard greens before sautéing, you retain their beautiful deep green colour while softening their natural peppery bite. The addition of smoky chipotle chillies provides a gentle heat that pairs perfectly with the salty crunch of the bacon, creating a savoury side dish that is far from ordinary.
As a diabetes-friendly option, this dish is naturally low in carbohydrates and provides a nutrient-dense accompaniment to grilled chicken or roasted fish. The fibre-rich greens are incredibly satisfying, while the healthy fats from the olive oil ensure the fat-soluble vitamins are easily absorbed. It is an excellent choice for anyone looking to add variety and bold flavour to a balanced, wholesome diet.

How to make Mustard Greens with Chipotle and Bacon
Coarsely chop greens, then cook in 2 batches in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water , uncovered, stirring occasionally, until wilted and tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a large bowl of cold water to stop cooking. Drain greens in a colander, pressing gently to release excess moisture.
Cook bacon in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, reserving fat in skillet. Add oil, chipotle, greens, and salt to fat and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with bacon.
