My mother always made mustard greens with slab bacon. It was delicious.

Anything that comes off a pig - smoked parts even better. Hot sauce. Lots of garlic and onion. Vinegar. If you are trying for vegetarian then tamari, onions, garlic, vinegar. I usually add a little stock of some sort to steam them as well ... good luck! Love those greens!!!!

Sorry misunderstood the question my Mother cooked slab bacon in the mustard greens. Staying on the pork theme, pork any cut is fantastic with them. A glazed ham is delicious with mustard greens.

I tend to think of more rustic dishes when I thin of mustard greens but maybe that's because it's how my grandmother always served them. Cornbread is a great parter for them so maybe to be a little different you could serve them with creamy polenta. Pork is a great friend to mustard greens as everyone has mentioned here, so maybe serve them with a roast pork loin with roasted apples and onions?

Black eyed peas..."hoppin john" which are black eyed peas cooked with pork and served over rice. Get the frozen ones, or 'cow peas' with green beans in the mix.

Serve simple hot pepper sauce; either one bottled or make your own by simmering white vinegar and hot peppers together. (well, that's a short cut really).
You should be able to find pepper sauce..it's peppers packed in vinegar in a shaker top bottle. Great with greens and the peas. The pepper sauce vinegar is a must IMHO.
Serve on the side as it can be very hot.

A ham steak, glazed as mentioned; or pork chop for the main meat course with 'red eye gravy', mashed potatoes, or fried orka. Along with cornbread..serve the greens in bowls with the juice--the pot likker, so you can sop that up with the cornbread.
