Proof that greens don't have to be boring! Tender spring greens and cavolo nero are tossed with crispy bacon, garlic, a kick of chilli and a tangy splash of cider vinegar. They're so tasty you might forget they're good for you.

  • 5 rashers lean back bacon or bacon medallions (around 150g), fat removed and chopped
  • 1 shallot, finely sliced (or ½ small onion)
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely sliced (or ½ tsp garlic granules)
  • ½ tsp chilli flakes (more or less to taste)
  • 4 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 250ml reduced-salt chicken stock (made with 1 stock cube)
