Balsamic Mustard Greens and Chickpeas

My mom eats mustard greens raw as salad greens, but sometimes one (i.e., me) is not up to the task.


This recipe, originally from Fat-Free Vegan Kitchen, was similar to Balsamic-Glazed Kale and Carrots, but zingier.  I changed the method of the original recipe to 1) add fat and 2) make it simpler.
