  2. Add the onions, shallots and garlic. Cooking them until fragrant and just beginning to color, about 8 minutes.
  3. Pour the chicken stock over the mixture and add the red pepper flakes. Bring the stock to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer and lay the greens out flat on top. Swirl the pan to get the greens coated with the liquid and cook 15 minutes. Turn the whole pile of greens once or twice during cooking using a spatula to keep them laid out flat for presentation.

Carefully slide the greens out flat onto a serving platter and sprinkle with mustard seeds.
