Yield 4-6 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

2-3 bunches Mustard Greens
8 ounces Bacon, thickly sliced slab
1 large Onion, diced
1 tsp Garlic Clove, chopped
1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
3 Tbsp Sugard
½ cup Apple-Cider Vinegar
½ cup Chicken Stock

Steps:

* Rinse greens well. Cut out stems and thick veins; tear leaves into 4" or 5" pieces. * Cook bacon in large saute pan until fat starts to render and bacon begins to brown. Add onion, garlic and pepper flakes and saute until onion is soft, about 7 minutes. Add sugar, vinegar and chicken stock. Heat to boiling, add greens and cooks slowly, stirring often enough as the greens begin to release their own liquid. * Reduce heat and simmer greens until tender, 10 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. * Season with salt and pepper.
