This vibrant dish of wilted greens in a tomato and bacon broth offers a sophisticated way to enjoy seasonal leafy vegetables. By charring sweet cherry tomatoes until they burst, you create a rich, smoky base that perfectly balances the bitter notes of escarole or Swiss chard. The addition of crispy bacon and a touch of honey provides a savoury depth, making this much more than a simple side dish.
Naturally dairy-free and packed with nutrients, this versatile recipe works beautifully as a light lunch or as an accompaniment to roasted meats. The gentle heat from the Fresno chilli and the brightness of the sherry vinegar ensure every mouthful is well-balanced. Serve it warm in shallow bowls with crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.

Ingredients for Wilted Greens in Tomato-Bacon Broth
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
4 slices bacon, coarsely chopped
1 small onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, smashed
575ml Sun Gold or cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
Kosher salt
10 cups torn greens (such as escarole, Swiss chard, and/or mustard)
1 Fresno chilli, thinly sliced into rings
How to make Wilted Greens in Tomato-Bacon Broth
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium-low. Add bacon and cook, stirring often, until brown and crisp around the edges, 5–7 minutes. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to high and add tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes have mostly burst and are lightly charred in spots, about 5 minutes. Mix in vinegar, honey, and 350ml water. Season lightly with salt and simmer over low heat to allow flavours to blend, 8–10 minutes.
Working a handful at a time, add greens, stirring to wilt before adding more, and cook until all greens are wilted and submerged in the broth. Season with more salt; let cool slightly.
Transfer greens to a serving dish. Generously drizzle with oil and scatter chilli over.
