Super Greens with Bacon

Here’s a delicious way to eat your super greens! 

This recipe includes bacon, but If you prefer not to use bacon or a vegan bacon alternative, it is really fantastic without as well.

INGREDIENTS (serves 4)

  • 6 cups of chopped greens (we do it with a combination of all three kinds of greens, but you could also choose one or two)

  • 1 small onion - diced (optional)

  • 3 - 4 slices of chopped bacon

  • 3 or four cloves of minced garlic (optional)

  • Splash of Balsamic vinegar 

  • Salt and pepper

  • Chopped stems (optional) 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Wash and dry greens

  2. Remove leaves from stems and tear into pieces.

  3. Chop chard stems to fry with onion. 

  4. In a large pan, on medium heat saute bacon and onion until translucent, add garlic.

  5. Remove the bacon, onion and garlic from the pan.

  6. Put the greens in the oil of the pan and let them wilt and cook down (10-15 minutes)

  7. Chop up the bacon and reintroduce it to the greens. 

  8. Stir to combine.

  9. Add salt (chard and bacon are naturally salty, so go easy!) and pepper to taste. 

  10. Add a tablespoon or two of vinegar.


Enjoy and please let us know how it turns out!
