The bacon and sautéed nuts play well against the greens. If you like your food a bit tart, add a splash of Sherry vinegar. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil |
1 thick-cut bacon slice, chopped |
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts |
1 bunch dandelion greens, swiss chard, or mustard greens (about 12 ounces), tough bottom stems removed, leaves cut into 1-inch pieces (about 8 cups) |
2 tablespoons finely grated gruyère cheese (optional) |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-low heat. Add bacon; sauté until almost crisp, about 6 minutes. Add walnuts; sauté 1 minute. Add greens and toss until wilted but still bright green, 5 to 7 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl. Sprinkle with cheese, if desired, and serve. |
