Ingredient IQ
One of the oldest-known cultivated plants and the boldest-flavored member of the onion family, garlic gets its name from a mash-up of two Old English words: gar, meaning “spear”—thought to refer to the spear-like shape of a clove—and leac, or “leek.” Once considered a source of physical strength, garlic may have been fed to the laborers who helped build the Egyptian pyramids. Garlic bulbs were even found in the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the vegetables

  • Peel and thinly slice the onion.
  • Finely chop, press, or grate the garlic.
  • Strip the collard green leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.

2

Brown the pork

  • On a plate or shallow bowl, season the flour with the dry rub, ground mustard, salt, and pepper; spread in an even layer.
  • Pat the pork dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper.
Working with 1 chop at a time, dredge the pork in the flour mixture, turning to coat; shake off any excess and set aside the remaining flour mixture.
In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the pork and cook, turning once, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan

3

Make the gravy; finish the pork

In the same pan used for the pork, if dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
Whisk in 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] leftover flour mixture and cook, whisking constantly, until the flour mixture is golden and has a nutty fragrance, 3 to 4 minutes. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly until fully incorporated and no lumps remain. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, add the pork, and cook until the gravy thickens and the pork is cooked through but still faintly pink within, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
While the pork and gravy cook, prepare the collard greens.

4

Cook the collard greens

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the garlic and collard greens (the greens in batches if needed) and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the apple cider vinegar and cook until thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the pork and collard greens to individual plates, spoon the gravy over the pork, and serve.
