Greens with Fat Back and Onions

Ingredients:

• 1-2 cups of smoked fatty  bacon cubes (I buy mine from a local farm where they have natural, farm-smoked bacon.)
• 1 large onion roughly chopped
• 3-4 quarts of mixed greens, torn (Kale, Swiss Chard, Turnip Greens, Mustard Greens, etc.)
• 1 quart water/Organic Chicken Stock

Directions:

• Pull the green leaves away from the tough stems. Roughly tear the leaves. (I wash my greens and store them in the refrigerator when I harvest them.)
• Place the onion, fatty bacon cubes, and water/stock in the pan.
• Begin to add your greens. They will wilt down, and you can add more.
• Bring pot to the boil and then turn down to low. Simmer green mixture, stirring occasionally, until the greens are tender.
• Reserve the pot liquor for dipping corn bread. Personally, I use the pot liquor as the base for making beans, so I freeze it.

Great with hot sauce.

Serves 4-6 people.
