NOW THAT is how i used to eat when i was younger right out of the garden Mother done a great job feeding all of us 8 kids.
Thank you
DSH sent me here. I love mustard greens, grow them every year.
I like mine raw with bacon grease drippings and chopped onions. YUM!
Thank you, glad that you are here! That is good no doubt!
Man oh man you just made me hungry for a plate full just like you fixed it. You can't get nothing like that in no drive thru window lol. Like momma used to say cooked with love for her family. Keep up the good work and God bless you all
Just checked my mailbox for the dInner invite but it didn't arrive. Mail people will blame the snow. LOL.
You sure do know how to honor your parents. That's some good eatins right thar.
Thanks for sharin', Justro.
Dang it Kenneth, I sent that thing last Tuesday!
Thank you my friend. It sure was a good meal.
Hope you enjoyed, friend.
Beautiful supper, Justro....I can almost taste those greens 🌻 blessings to y'all 🤍
Oh so goood! ❤️
Wow Justin! This video has my mouth watering and my stomach growling. That's some fine cooking.
Thanks Sunny!
“Ain’t never seen a bug 🐛 with an overcoat 🧥on”… lol that snow was pretty.even has warm as it is today, I could sit down and eat me a bowl of greens. I use to cook them and in winter I’d freeze in quarts after I cooked them. Id take out in summer sometimes if I was making fried fish or chicken or something. They froze well, tasted like you just cooked them. So good for you! That is good your girls seem to eat food from garden. My kids ate whatever I cooked. So many don’t do that anymore… chicken nuggets n hot dogs etc have a place and are fun and good. Makes it a treat when they do have them, but not everyday.
😆. Yes we freeze them too. I know what you mean, some children do that know what real food is and it is sad. Thank you for sharing🙂
My mom always raised kale and I like it. Was in SE Kentucky once and the lady I was visiting made a mixture of greens just like you did. It was delicious. Made a pint of those pickles today, all the cucumbers I had. Heard it ping! So easy, hope to make a few more.
I hope so too. Thank you for sharing
We always like the pot liquor over our cornbread. Yummy.
Yes😋
Pickle juice on the mustard greens! What a great idea!
I hope you like it Neva. It is the best in my opinion. Glad I can share
Finishing the greens in the pan with the drippings was a real eye opener. Never seen that method before. Looked and sounded good!
It is, if you try it I hope it is good for you. Thank you.
yes sir drippings or bacon grease anything you might have
I knew a guy many years ago who grew what he called "winter greens". He brought a bunch to work and cooked them up to share with us. They was the best greens I ever ate! They was not tough at all and about eight times better than spinach and I love spinach! I asked him how to cook them and he said "boil them with a little white vinegar". I never tried it because I knew there had to be a big secret to anything that good. I'm going to try and plant some mustard greens this year and I'll try your method. It looked really good!
I would like to know what the winter greens were? Thank you for sharing, hope you enjoy them!
@@metcalfmills5679 I always figured that he called them "winter greens" because he grew them in the winter. It was January when he brought many paper sacks full of these greens to work. They was large leaf like yours but it was a long time ago. I never had any greens as good since.
Oh my! Be still my heart. I can smell that fresh hot cake of cornbread just waiting on a big slab of unsalted butter. I can also smell those mustard greens perfected by that pickle juice. Everything on that plate makes my senses soar. All you need is a little green onion, and a little Redmond's salt, and some fresh cracked pepper. Lordy! Lordy! I'm hungry now!❤❤❤😊
I heard that!!
I just found your channel, man you are living the best life.
Thanks man. I am thankful
Oh son you do know how to cook them green I know how good they are mustard is my favorite I enjoy your v
I am glad that you enjoyed Marie. Thank you!
That dipper/scoop is from the Fry Daddy deep fryer. And from watching all you Southern UA-camrs cooking/eating mustard greens, I guess I’m gonna have to try ‘em! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Melanie! I hope you like em!
You all had me worried for a miniute been sick myself but with Gods help i am here but just letting my family from another mother know your very much missed
Made my mouth water! You know how to cook some greens, for sure! I enjoyed the video so much, especially your humor. Favorite line was the grande finale: "...everything else is just garnish." That's the gospel truth right there. Hope sweet Charlotte ate a mess of that. 🥓🍽🥣😀🌱
I am glad that you did Ms Linda. Ha ha! That’s how I think.. She sure did, my girls love em!!
Best to you!
I use a portion of country ham or streaked meat instead of pouring salt 🧂 and i also add sugar to make the pot liquor that much gooder soaked into my cornbread, I loved this video!
Glad you enjoyed!
The video was titled 'Cooking Mustard Greens', but the star of the show was the streaky pork! Many all you needed with this was a big glass of butter milk. I have never tried pickle juice on mustard greens, but man I sure like a little Tabasco on them. Thanks for sharing, God bless.
Thank you Paul! Corn bread and milk is dessert!
Thank you for watching and God bless you too.
🥰
I went back and watched this video cause one of your other videos you talked about liking mustard greens. You cook them just like I do my collards. My mom taught me also. That there is a fine meal no doubt. Take care
Thank you for sharing! You too
I think all men should know how to cook your, if I had a son I would have taught him as I did my girls. Your Mother taught you well.You are a wonderful Dad wish you were my neighbor.
Deddy and my grandpa both liked to cook some. I guess because they liked to eat. Thank you for the kind words. That is a very kind thang to say, makes my day. Thank you.
May I come eat supper with you. It has been so long since I had fresh mustard greens. Mom and I used to pick them and cook them. Just exactly like you did. I always take the stems out of collards and other greens, but people here in the south don't usually do that. Your girls are so blessed to have a daddy like you that cooks good food for them. Ok dill pickle juice is a new one on me for greens. I have used it on beans.
This made my day, thank you Tammy. Love you❤️
@@metcalfmills5679 Love u much my dear new son.
You always manage to make me chuckle. You have a very dry sense of humor. I've never had mustard greens. I wouldn't eat collard green if you paid me, lol, and I always assumed mustard greens would be the same.
You’re missing out Heaseba!
Now that's a good plate of food!🙂 your daughter is a cutie😊
Thank you Sara. 🤠
@@metcalfmills5679 Your welcome 🙂
The smell almost got here. Made me hungry. I like the hot pepper vinegar on top of greens. But I'll send you some chow chow for a side. It would go great with everything. Yum now it's time to go hunt something to eat. Thanks Mrs Metcalf you sure taught Justin well
Enjoyed the cooking lessons.
Glad you enjoyed and you are too kind! Thank you TPaw!!!
You are truly a man after my heart where have you been hiding all my life God bless you and your girls
Aww thank you Opal. God bless you as well
Brickly!!!! Its the perfect word for how I like mine too. Lookin good on that plate :)
Yeah it’s a word we like around here Ash, thanks friend!
Them greens looking good your meal look with tater corn bread beans yam yam from steve c from state Oregon my family did the same food
Thank you Steve, glad you enjoyed it!
I almost felt guilty as I sit here eating my cornbread and and milk while watching this video. But just almost. LOL I have to agree with you Justin about the pickle juice. Its one of the most overlooked things in the pantry. I even mix it with a little olive oil and pour it over a fresh garden salid. Why use vinegar when a spicy substitute is available and just going to be thrown away otherwise.
Lol. Yes it is an important jar around here. Thank you for sharing, my friend.
Poor starving kid, oh the anticipation with the smell of all that cookin !!! You are a great daddy 🥰
When I was a kid back in Oklahoma my mom had a glass bottle with peppers and I think vinegar in it, it had a black cap that had a hole in the top, it sat in the door shelf of our avocado green fridge, I would sprinkle that juice on any greens she cooked, I loved it !!! Man O Man, I wish I knew what that stuff was 🤷🏼♀️
I have a whole bunch of different peppers out in my garden to pick in the next day or two, I think I’m going to stuff some in a bottle and cover with vinegar and see if it’s similar !
Now why didn’t I grow mustard greens this year 😏 I’ll have to try it with kale !
Love your videos !
Blessings
I picked wild mustard greens and cooked them and they are a wonderful flavor. I also dug some wild ones from a friend’s yard, planted them in my garden and then harvested the seeds when they were ready. Just from a very small patch I ended up with a pint of seeds!
That’s great Laura!
Mmmm, love mustard greens!
Oh yeah Deana !
Now I see where I've gone wrong trying to fix a pot of greens. Can you cook your food dyslexic-ly? I think that's what I did, in backwards jumbled up order. My mom never fixed greens and I didn't have folks around to learn from, so I tried to figure it out from books and googling recipes. But it never tasted like what our neighbor made. I bet it's because she cooked it like you. Guess I'll be hunting the garden trying to find enough greens left to give cooking them one more try, in the right order. That supper looked delicious! Thanks for sharing!
I hope you find some and they turn out good. Thank you for watching and I hope it helps.
Love mustard greens! Wish mine weren't covered with snow!
I heard that Deborah, I have been known to dig them out.
Never had mustard greens before that I know of. Now I gotta try em. Love me some cooked up cabbage though in some bacon grease.
Oh yes!!
That is looking like a good southern meal Justin. All staples that I grew up on. Never knew to fry the up. My mom would boil them to death with salt pork lol
I hear you, thank you for sharing Diana. Lol
Thanks Justin, another super video. I like putting a little white vinegar over mine.
Thank you Noble. Yeah I have seen folks do that too.
My goodness this man can cook !!😉
I’m a professional bachelor 🙂
👶takes me back to my grandmother I would've added onion to mine thx
Glad you enjoyed LR.
The mustard greens look delicious 😋! You are such a good teacher-very thorough. My greens are gone but I’ll sure be using your method this coming season. Thanks for the lesson.
P.S. Charlotte is adorable.
Thank you Lesa. I hope it helps! I couldn’t agree more, she is a sweetie.
No wonder you always have company for dinner when you cook mustards!! 😋This video was worth the wait! As far as I’m concerned, you are a Michelin 4 star chef because I am willing to bet that all tasted as good as it looked! I’m so glad you have your smell and taste back and could enjoy it!! Hope ya ate some for me, if not go back for seconds please!!
The snow looks beautiful. I hope Charlotte has gotten to go out and build her snowman and that y’all are staying nice and warm over there!
That may be it Lea! Oh I’m just a ol mountain cook that likes to eat his own food, but thank you for the kind compliment 😁. Yeah I am glad we can taste better and smell now, I missed it. And I went back for seconds…and thirds.
Yep we played out in it today. It was so dry and powdery it would not pack together for a snowman. We did make one about a foot tall though. Thank you Lea, hope you all are well!
I've done that with the salt and apple cider vinegar and just let them soak in cool water for about 5 minutes. The only thing I've changed is using Himalayan pink salt now, instead of iodized salt. Of course that was because they come from the store. Once I can get the garden going, it might be different. Looks good.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
My fravorite Greens in the summertime are Stinging Nettles cooked down. You might want to use some gloves to pick and handle them.. I just put them in a cast iron skillet and stur and fry them down. Boy,oh boy are they good.
I have eat some before. Thanks Buddy
We have a different kind up in the mountains..
I love greens! All types. I do mine pretty similar but I fry pork in my stock pot. Then I put my water in, then greens.I sometimes use bacon or hamhocks. I leave mine in to stew the whole time with greens. I add in a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, a tablespoon of brown sugar, and some red pepper flakes. I usually leave mine in the pot. I like the idea of pan-frying them after you cook them. Good stuff there.
Love steaky meat but it is been a while since I had some.
The best part of the greens is the pot likker haha. Dip that cornbread in that potlikker...yum yum.
Then if you got leftover cornbread, we have cornbread and milk as a snack.
That meal look good, you just needed some chow chow on your beans haha
Sounds good! Yep, that’s where the vitamins go! We eat corn bread and milk every day if we can. I heard that, I never did learn to make chow-chow. Maybe one day I will. Mama made some good
@@metcalfmills5679 I’ve never made chow chow either but mom does. She uses my grandma’s recipe which I’m sure was passed down. Hers is more vinegar and hot as some is sweet. I don’t like the sweeter version but I guess it’s how you was raised.
My dad ate cornbread and milk a lot. He passed away in 2019 from Alzheimer’s. Sure miss him! I got a video up of our last fishing trip together if you ever care to watch it.
Thanks a lot Justin now I’m starving. We love greens and cornbread beans and taters sooo good
Ha ha! Yeah we like to have that once of twice a week if we can.
That's a great recipe. I guess I'm going to try to grow and cook mustard greens. Thank you for the video.
I’m glad to hear that Debbie! I hope they turn out good. Thank you for watching!
Look great that's good eatin
Thanks Kenny, it sure was!
Hey Justin, I love GREENS! It don't much matter which ones they are or if it different ones all mixed together. With and without meat as kids we ate what we were given and we liked it and were thankful for it. Do you ever have onions or garlic in the greens? I love how you got your cornbread in the cast iron skillet. Do you get the pan hot along with the oven and when the oven is ready pull out the hot pan and pour in the cornbread mix? You can hear is sizzle when you pour it in. Nice video take care bye for now
I can eat greens the same way but mustard is my favorite. I cook greens another way and use garlic. I do not preheat my corn bread pan, mama didn’t and I never did. Thank you for sharing brother.
My mother taught me how to make greens too. I like mustard greens, turnip greens and poke greens. I make my poke greens like you do but not the mustard I'll have to try it the way you did it here.
I'll be making some soon....gonna make em your way!!
I hope you like them Laura
So excited for this one! 🙏 🙏
I hope it is worth the wait. Maybe the greens will be!
well done son.
Aw thanks
Oh boy that looks good.
Thanks Angela!
That looked delicious
It sure was
Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing. Now I’ll have to try some mustard greens sometime.
Thank you Tracy. I hope it helps.
@@metcalfmills5679 it looked delicious!
Wonderful! So glad you were finalky able to get this one filmed.
Thanks folks, me too!
Never heard of dill pickle juice on greens. My family always uses pepper sauce juice. Gonna have to try that. Guess kind of the same both have vinegar . :)
It is awful good. Probably kind of the same. Thanks Belinda.
thank you justin
Thank you!
Oh, Justin! A fine and filling meal, indeed. I made the exact meal last Friday and hubby and I enjoyed 2 meals from it. Got tickled at your baby girl saying she was starving! Can’t keep ‘em filled. Thank you, for sharing.
That’s great BJ! Yeah she’s either starving or not hungry, 🤣
@@metcalfmills5679 😊Sweet little children- such endearing and precious little treasures.
We use a roller-type Pizza Cutter to quickly remove stems.
Oh I can’t wait to try that! Thank you
Looks like a wonderful meal!
Thank you!
Love them!
Oh yeah!❤️
I cooked a mess of my mustard greens about a week ago. Not quite as well seasoned as yours but still tasty. You were blessed with a good mama that taught you so well. Those looked delicious. Pass it on!
I agree, I sure was. Thank you for watching and I am glad that you enjoyed. Thank you!
Great video as always Justin! The leaves of your mustard is entirely different looking from the ones we have in our local (Southern California) nurseries. The ones I have seen here are more shaped like dandelions. I would love to try the ones your using. It's our season for growing greens here. Can you give more information on what variety you grew and a source where I can order seeds. Again thanks for all you do in sharing your family's wisdom with us.
Thank you for watching Marty! There are a lot of different varieties of mustard greens out there. In the video, those are old fashioned mustard, I also grow souther giant curly and Florida Broad Leaf is a favorite. My videos #31 & #42 shows how I sow the greens. You should be able to easily find the greens by name on google, but I f not let me know. I appreciate you and am glad that you enjoy my channel.
Great video, I love the way you give all the details. I'm a sallat lover too. I like mine with a crunch to them and I chop them after I cook, add a little cheyenne pepper vinegar. I agree everything else on the plate is just garnish.
Thanks for the feed back Ron. Thanks for sharing! Yep just garnish !!!
I always eat them with some apple cider vinegar. I’ve never tried dill pickle juice on them. Next time we make some I’m definitely going to try some pickle juice on them.
Thanks for sharing Dustin, hope you like em!
Bacon mustard greens I’m going to have to have this we are doing bacon asparagus tonight I guess this will be a delicious week 🐖
Sounds like it is getting off to a good start! Thank you DDF.
That supper looks so good! Send plate up to Missouri!
Thank you Carmen! I wish I could. Thank you for watching!
That looks like about enough for me. Love them mustard, great video
Thank you for watching James!
Oh my gosh that looks delicious
It sure was Billy
@@metcalfmills5679 I'm going to try them like that.
@@metcalfmills5679 Do you or your mom have a good pickled orka receipe?
@@billyangelapressley I hope you like em
I’m going to make these when I harvest my mustard greens. I will omit the pickle juice, may try vinegar. (Not a fan of dill)
I will have to find middlin pork, it sure looks tasty. Thanks for showing how it’s done.
I hope they turn out good for you RR. I hope it helps..
Loved the video Justin. Going to pick us some greens in the morning.
Thank you Joan! Hope it helps.
looked good! Will be growing mustard greens for the first time this year, going to cook them just like you taught me.
Aw that makes my day! I hope you like them. Thank you for watching.
Nice
Thanks Marissa ! Hope you are warm and well..
My .mother cooked her greens the same way
Thank you
Hi I live on sand mountain at rainsville al I wish I was younger love to work with you.i would like to know the kind of corn you like for cornbread? Oyes my name Jerry an I love your vedios thanks
I use Hickory King and Jimmy Red. Thanks Jerry!
Question: I worry about rain too, and chemtrails. You say you wash a lot of it off. So well-water isn't as contaminated as rain water? How about the roots taking it all up? --feeling worried in the Ozarks
We don’t have well water. The glyphosate is my big worry, it is the thing that I know to worry about. Just do the best we can with what we got. Thanks Terry.
Have you ever had Crakle cornbread with your greens
Does anybody call a brown paper sack a poke down there. We were raised to call it a poke and when I moved from southern West Virginia I was made fun for saying poke here in Newport News Va
Ye it’s a poke!!!! Thank you
Thanks so much!!
Looks similar to cooking spinach? Could i just skip the water and fry them with my diced up bacon? I do that with spinach.
Yes sometimes I fix it that way. I like to chop some garlic up, fry it a little bit first and then add the greens!
Can they be eaten raw in a salad just like fresh spinach?
Yes but they are hot ! Spicy
What kind of meat was that? It looked like bacon.
Pork middlin
I never see your wife cooking on your videos, just wondering is she camera shy?
I don’t know if she is or not, I’m a professional bachelor..
