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

Directions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon, and set aside. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons rendered fat.
  2. Add greens and water to pan, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until greens are wilted and almost all the water has evaporated, about 8 minutes.
  3. Remove greens from heat. Stir in vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Toss in bacon. Serve warm.
