Recipe

• 1 first, prepare bok choy by making a cut about 2 inches from bottom. this will separate it into individual stalks. make a horizontal cut along each stem to separate greens. (be sure to wash thoroughly as dirt may be trapped inside). cut each stem into "half-moons" approximately 1 inch thick. place aside.
• 2 loosely chop greens (i find it easiest to stack 2-3 leaves together, roll them, make a horizontal cut, then chop the stack vertically.).
• 3 add olive oil, canadian bacon, and shallots to medium heat pan. brown ingredients.
• 4 once ingredients brown, deglaze pan with wine.
• 5 add bok choy stems to mixture. season with salt and pepper. cook approximately 15 minutes until tender using chicken stock to deglaze pan as needed.
• 6 once stems are tender, add greens and green apple. cook an additional 15-20 minutes.
