I’m making a batch of these Bacon-Lovers Spicy Southern Greens tonight, and wanted to share the recipe with all of you. These greens are fantastic paired with Slow Cooker Pulled Pork, which is by far one the easiest dishes to make. You can find the recipe for that below as well.In a few days I’ll share two more dishes that complete this meal - fried plantains and homemade coleslaw. Enjoy!
Haha, no worries. Thank you! And this is hardly a “debut”… I actually worked in the food industry for over a decade, and had a paleo food blog for six or so of those years, which is where these recipes and photos come from. This is more like a cautious return to the parts of that life that I enjoyed, still leaving behind the parts that drove me crazy. Also have to credit my chef ex-husband for the cook the garlic by itself garlic strategy, among several other pro tips I picked up from him.
Hi Anya - Long time Chris Ryan fan here, and I have enjoyed your writings as well. I am a professional chef, and applaud your recipe writing debut! Great direction on the garlic sautee, most people don't specify the the "sautee garlic by itself" move, which is crucial whenever you sautee garlic. A suggestion: Sautee the bacon from raw (and your recipe should read "cooked bacon") and sautee the onions etc. in the fat it renders for more bacon flavor!
Ouch, I didn't read the recipe carefully! You did render the bacon - even more kudos..
