Braised Beet Greens with Bacon

Yeah, so you've just had those beets, and it's made the "morning ritual" freaky and weird (if you don't know what I'm talking about, you should really eat more red beets). But did you know the greens have even more healthy goodness in them?

But first, they should really be washed. A lot.

This is the rest of the stuff you'll need: Onion, Garlic, Cider Vinegar, Hot Pepper Flake, and Chicken Stock.

...aaaaaand BACON!

In the grease, slowly cook the onion. When brown and yummy, add the garlic and red pepper flake.

Add stock/water, and a touch of sugar, bring to boil, and toss in the greens, coating with the mixture.

Lower heat, and simmer, covered, for about 5 minutes, or until tender. Add a tablespoon of the cider vinegar, and serve with the bacon on top (reserved until last to add a crispy texture). Shown with the great pork recipe from the previous post.
