Sauteed Beet Greens with Bacon

I ventured to the Saskatoon Farmers' Market today and purchased a lovely bunch of beets with greens. I felt inspired to make some beet greens for lunch with flavours of borscht and traditional Polish dishes. 

5 slices of bacon, chopped
1 large bunches of beet greens (cleaned, stems cut off and rough chopped)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small onion, chopped
2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Cook bacon in a large pan on medium heat, until cooked and fat rendered from bacon. Remove bacon and saute the garlic and onions in the fat until fragrant – about 2 minutes. Add the beet greens along with a little bit of water and saute until they are wilted and covered in the bacon fat and garlic. Add dill and return bacon to the pan. Add salt and pepper to taste.
