10 ounces mustard greens
1/2 large red onion , thinly sliced
4-6 tablespoons vegetable broth , divided

1 pinch red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon agave nectar or sugar

Add the mustard greens, 2 tablespoons of broth, and cook, stirring, until greens are wilted but still bright green, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the salt, if using.

Homemade Basil Pesto
(From: www.littlespicejar.com)
Ingredients
3 cups fresh basil leaves, slightly packed
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated is best)
2 teaspoons (2 cloves) minced garlic
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts (see notes)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
OPTIONAL: pinch of red pepper flakes
Directions
1. Add the basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, lemon zest, pine nuts, lemon juice and, if using, red pepper flakes to a
blender or food processor. Blend continuously until the ingredients start to breakdown. If you prefer a more coarse pesto, use the pulse setting. Stream in the olive oil and allow the ingredients to emulsify with the oil. You want to continue processing until the oil is combined with the basil and your other ingredients. Taste the pesto, add additional garlic or Parmesan to preference.
2. STORING: Store the pesto in a small container (where the pesto fits all the way to the top and press to reduce air pockets. Homemade pesto can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. You can also pour the pesto into ice cube trays and freeze. Remember to transfer the frozen pesto to a zip top bag once frozen.
NOTES: You can replace the pine nuts with cashews or almonds.
