Sauteed Bok Choy With Bacon and Green Apple
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!

DIRECTIONS
- 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.
