truckersmom
"I found a 'Greens with Cannellini Beans and Pancetta' recipe and didn't have all the ingredients, so I compromised and came up with this recipe. A Big 'Thank You' to Diana Moutsopoulos, for sharing her recipe with everyone."

Ready In
- Drain the beans, but reserve about 1/4 cup of the liquid. Set the beans and reserved liquid aside.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the onion until transparent and beginning to turn brown, about 8 minutes; stir in garlic, and cook just until fragrant, about 1 more minute. Stir in spinach and beet greens, partially cover the pan, then cook until the leaves wilt, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle on the bacon bits. Stir in the kidney beans with reserved liquid, and cook the mixture, stirring often, for about 2 more minutes. Mix in the red wine vinegar, and cook until the pan juices reduce and the greens are tender, about 5 more minutes. Season to taste with salt.

SORRY BUT THIS WAS NOT FOR ME. I THINK THIS WOULD BE GOOD WITH REAL BACON BUT THE IMITATION BITS WERE SO SALTY, AND I ONLY USED 1/3 CUP. THEY TASTED VERY ODD WITH THE VINEGAR.

This was very flavorful and full of different textures. I had to make one change. I was out of red wine vinegar so I used white balsamic vinegar. By choice, I used 2 slices of fresh bacon. (inst...

This was a good idea, but using 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar may be a better idea. The vinegar taste overwhelmed the rest of the flavors. My husband overcooked to try and reduce down the vinegar...
