Sweet And Spicy Bitter Greens
- 2 slices of bacon, fried crispy, grease reserved
- 3 cups dandelion greens, first 3 inches of stems discarded, cut into rough 1-inch ribbons
- 1/3 cup diced shallot
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups mustard greens, tough stems discarded, sliced in rough 1"x3" ribbons
- 2 3-fingered pinches of kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vinegar based hot sauce, like Louisiana, Crystal, or Frank's
- 1 teaspoon honey
- In a large skillet, fry the bacon crispy. Remove, dice, and reserve. Reserve the grease in the pan.
- Add the shallots and garlic to the hot grease and cook, stirring and scraping up the brown bits, for about 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
- Add the greens, 1/3 at a time, adding the next third as soon as the first one wilts enough to allow them into the pan. About 20 seconds between each batch. Add 2 three-fingered pinches of salt, the vinegar, the honey, and the hot sauce. Stir to combine, and cook greens until just wilted but still bright, about 5 minutes.
- Season with additional honey, vinegar, or hot sauce to taste if desired, and serve tossed with the diced bacon.
