Hearty Greens with "Bacon" Ragout

This a juicy and yummy dish that can be made with any type of hearty greens! Turkey bacon was used here but other meats could be substituted too (bacon, sausage, etc.). Serve with bread, rice or pasta to soak up the juices.
Serves about 2
Ingredients:
1 bunch of hearty greens (kale, collard greens, chard), stems removed and chopped to 1 inch slices
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
3 strips of turkey bacon, about 1/4 lb, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 cup water or broth, plus more if needed
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1/4 tsp salt (as needed, depending on saltiness of meat used)

Heat the oil over medium heat and saute the onion until soft, about 4 minutes.  Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and saute another 1 minute, then add the meat and cook (stirring frequently) until cooked to desired consistency, about 3-5 minutes.  Add the chopped greens, water or broth and tomato paste, stirring well.  Cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for about 45 minutes or until greens are soft.  Stir occasionally and add more water or broth as needed.  Add salt to taste and serve.  Enjoy!
