Spicy Cajun style sausage makes these greens hearty enough for a meal, but add slaw or potato salad and fresh baked cornbread for a feast.

Total Time: 40 minutes
Yield: 4 Servings
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch mustard greens
- 1 bunch kale
- 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 12 to 16 ounces andouille or Cajun-style sausage, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning blend
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 12 to 18 cherry tomatoes, sliced or halved, depending on size, or 2 medium tomatoes, diced
Preparation:
Wash greens well in 2 to 3 changes of water and cut out the thick stems. Cut in 1-inch wide strips.
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sausage and cook, stirring, until lightly browned. Add the Cajun seasoning and pepper, along with chicken broth or water. Add the greens and garlic and bring to a simmer.
