I'm grilling salmon and making this side:


Spinach and Chick Peas with Bacon
3 slices thick-cut bacon
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
8 cups baby spinach (6 ounce), any tough stems discarded
1 garlic clove, minced

Bring a 3-quart pot three fourths full of water to a boil. Add bacon and cook 2 minutes. Drain bacon and rinse in cold water. Pat dry and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces.
Cook bacon in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until browned. Leaving bacon in skillet, spoon off all but 1 tablespoon fat. Add 2 tablespoons oil, chickpeas, and red pepper flakes to skillet and saut) over high heat, stirring occasionally, until chickpeas begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in spinach and garlic and sauté, stirring, until spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with remaining tablespoon oil.

    So I made all that but change things up a little bit




    Add more red pepper flake
    If you have a wok, or very large pan, use that for the spinach sauté.

    A 12 " frying pan isn't really big enough until the spinach wilts


    Other than it, it was very good and I doubled it up so you know what I'm having for lunch tomorrow

    i have a theory, that you could serve me an Air Jordan, as long as its wrapped in bacon, i would consume it and it would be delicious.
