Any combination of kale, chard, and mustard or collard greens works well.
Recipe information
Yield
serves 4
Ingredients
4 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 pound kale, ribs removed, leaves torn into 2-inch pieces
1 bunch Swiss chard, ribs removed, leaves torn into 2-inch pieces
3/4 cup water
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Preparation
Step 1
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, and set aside. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons rendered fat.
Step 2
Add the greens and water to the pan, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until the greens are wilted and almost all the water has evaporated, about 8 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the greens from the heat. Stir in the vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Toss in the bacon. Serve warm.
