Preparation
- Step 1
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm oil. Prick sausages with a fork and place in skillet. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned all over and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer sausages to a plate.
- Step 2
Add shallots to oil and reduce heat to medium. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in mustard seeds and garlic; cook 1 minute. Add rhubarb and greens, a handful at a time, and a large pinch of salt. Cook until the greens wilt and become tender, about 10 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper. Serve sausages on top of greens.

I am so happy that NYTimes Cooking is putting out savory rhubarb recipes. I think that rhubarb has great potential to complement meat but it hasn't really been explored for some reason. It is not that far from celery and yet has the spark and tartness of a lemon. This was good and I hope that we have many, many more savory rhubarb recipes in the future. Thank you!
1/2 cup rhubarb = 1 good-sized stalk. Rhubarb will dissolve during cooking.
I substituted tomatillos in place of the rhubarb. That actually worked quite well as the tomatillos have a similar sour/sweet profile. I used four medium sized tomatillos that I boiled for about 5 minutes and then skinned and chopped into a pulp. I added them after the mustard seeds and garlic and cooked the mixture down until it thickened before adding the swiss chard.
This was the perfect spring CSA recipe. We used green garlic, swiss chard, rhubarb and added some bok choy to bulk it up. The result was delicious!
I add a little cream to the sauce and sometimes mustard instead of mustard seeds. This mellows it for kids. So good!
Used kielbasa instead of Italian sausage, and I cut it up into coins instead of cooking whole. Used about one stalk rhubarb to make enough sliced for recipe. The dish tasted great, but with the interior of the sausage exposed it was too greasy. Next time I would cut the olive oil in 1/2 to 1 Tb. I also wonder if subbing caraway for mustard seeds would enhance it. I couldn’t really taste the mustard seeds. Great way to use rhubarb that isn’t sweet.
