Sauteed Bok Choy With Bacon and Green Apple image

I recently signed up for a farm delivery service and have had to get creative with vegetables that I am unfamiliar with. This recipe pulls from my southern roots and is similar in preparation to the way my mama used to cook collard greens. It is a more simple and much healthier version that pairs well with pork or fish. Hope ya'll enjoy!

Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bok choy
2 slices of uncooked Canadian bacon, chopped into 1/2 inch cubes
2 shallots, finely chopped
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 small granny smith apple, peeled and chopped into 1/2 inch cubes
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • First, prepare Bok Choy by making a cut about 2 inches from bottom. This will separate it into individual stalks. Make a horizontal cut along each stem to separate greens. (Be sure to wash thoroughly as dirt may be trapped inside). Cut each stem into "half-moons" approximately 1 inch thick. Place aside.
  • Loosely chop greens (I find it easiest to stack 2-3 leaves together, roll them, make a horizontal cut, then chop the stack vertically.).
  • Add olive oil, Canadian Bacon, and shallots to medium heat pan. Brown ingredients.
  • Once ingredients brown, deglaze pan with white wine.
  • Add Bok Choy stems to mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Cook approximately 15 minutes until tender using chicken stock to deglaze pan as needed.
  • Once stems are tender, add greens and green apple. Cook an additional 15-20 minutes.
