Yield 8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
4 slices bacon, coarsely chopped
1 small onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, smashed
1 pint Sun Gold or cherry tomatoes
2 Tbsp. sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
2 tsp. honey
Kosher salt
10 cups torn greens (such as escarole, Swiss chard, and/or mustard)
1 Fresno chile, thinly sliced into rings

Steps:

  • Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large saucepan over medium-low. Add bacon and cook, stirring often, until brown and crisp around the edges, 5-7 minutes. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to high and add tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes have mostly burst and are lightly charred in spots, about 5 minutes. Mix in vinegar, honey, and 1 1/2 cups water. Season lightly with salt and simmer over low heat to allow flavors to blend, 8-10 minutes.
  • Working a handful at a time, add greens, stirring to wilt before adding more, and cook until all greens are wilted and submerged in the broth. Season with more salt; let cool slightly.
  • Transfer greens to a serving dish. Generously drizzle with oil and scatter chile over.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of salt in the tomato-bacon broth next time. Otherwise, it was a delicious and healthy meal.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated for my liking. There were a lot of ingredients and steps involved, and the cooking time was quite long. I think there are easier recipes out there that produce similar results.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could benefit from the addition of some herbs or spices. The greens were also a bit overcooked, so I would recommend reducing the cooking time slightly.
