First, pick A LOT of Garlic Mustard. I probably had a bunch today that would have fit in a bushel basket. The responsible way is to pull the entire plants, and there will be A LOT of plants. Pull the leaves off, and discard the plant remains in the trash, NOT the compost heap!
Next, pull the leaves you harvested in a BIG stock pot, after you have all the leaves you need, rinse the entire pot of garlic mustard leaves (aka "Greens") in cold water. Drain the water.
I added:
a quart of chicken broth to the greens
2 chopped 2 medium onions
5 slices of chopped bacon
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons of sugar
Then I began to stew the greens, when they reached a boil, I reduced the heat to medium low and added a bag of kale greens to mellow out the pot.
I tasted the greens after a while, and added some Liquid Smoke for the good old southern BBQ greens flavor.
Then I turned down the heat to Low and them simmer for another hour.
These turned out very well! A great way to rid the yard of garlic mustard and have a nice pot of greens.
