Beet Greens With Bacon And Balsamic Vinegar - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 bunch beet leaf, washed, drained and roughly chopped (about 3-4 beets worth)
3 -4 small beets, roasted, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces (optional)
2 slices bacon, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped small
1 tablespoon water
2 -3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

In a large skillet over medium high heat, cook bacon in olive oil until starting to lightly brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Add chopped onion and continue to cook until onion is translucent and starts to brown lightly, another 3- 4 minutes.
Add beet greens and roasted beets (if using), water and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until greens start to wilt.
Add balsamic vinegar and continue to cook until greens have wilted, about another 3-4 minutes and liquid has evaporated slightly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Transfer to serving bowl and offer additional balsamic at the table, if desired.
