Method:

1. In a large frying pan, heat the oil and add the bacon. Fry for 2 minutes, then add the onions and garlic and fry for 3 minutes more until the onion begins to soften.

2. Reduce the heat and add the spring greens and season. Cook, covered, over a gentle heat for about 15 minutes until the greens are tender. Serve immediately.

VARIATION : Use shredded red cabbage in place of the spring greens. Leave to simmer for 10 minutes longer is red cabbage is tougher and requires longer cooking.
