Recipe Instructions:

Melt Margarine:
In a large saucepan, melt the soy margarine over medium heat. Allow the rich, buttery aroma to fill the kitchen as the margarine transforms into a golden liquid. -
Sauté Apples:
Add the granny smith apples to the saucepan, and with a gentle stir, let them dance in the margarine until they attain a delightful, lightly browned color. The sizzling sound and the sweet fragrance will signal that the apples are on their way to perfection. -
Add Greens:
Now, it’s time to introduce the star of the greens. Sprinkle the mustard greens or kale into the pan, allowing their vibrant colors to mix with the caramelized apples. This is where the magic happens, as the flavors start to intertwine. -
Stir and Cover:
Give it a good stir to ensure an even distribution of flavors. Then, cover the saucepan and let the ingredients simmer together. Stir occasionally to guarantee that every bite is a medley of tastes. -
Tender Perfection:
As the greens absorb the essence of the apples and the margarine, they will reach a delightful tenderness. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect balance between crispiness and succulence. -
