"It's a scientific fact that eating pork, beans, or greens at the beginning of a new year brings you great luck-just imagine Oscar Mayer
if we put all three of those things together in a single dish. This is so satisfying and delicious that even if it brought me Hardwood Smoked
bad luck, I'd still make it. Best served with some crusty, toasted bread."
Bacon 16 Oz

Ingredients expires in 2 days
12 ounces bacon, sliced into 1-inch pieces 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 cup diced onion 4 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup diced celery 1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste 1 large bunch Swiss chard
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 (15.5 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste 1 1/4 cups orecchiette pasta
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, or to
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano taste (optional)
2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 drizzle olive oil (optional)
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste (optional)

Directions
1 Place a cold soup pot over medium heat. Add sliced bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the fat has
rendered out and the bacon begins to crisp up, about 5 minutes. Drain o most of the excess fat with a paper towel
if desired, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pot. Add onions, celery, and salt. Saute until and so ened onions turn
translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
2 Stir in black pepper, cayenne, dried thyme, dried oregano, and tomato paste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the
tomato paste starts to caramelize onto the bottom of the pan, about 2 minutes. Add the minced garlic, and cook,
stirring, for 1 to 2 more minutes. Stir in chicken broth and water and raise the heat to high. Bring to a simmer over
high heat; reduce heat to medium and let simmer while you prep the Swiss chard.
3 Remove chard leaves from tough stems. Gather a handful of leaves and slice across in one direction; turn and slice
across again. Repeat with remaining chard. Place into a bowl and fill with water. Swish around to remove dirt;
transfer washed greens a handful at a time to another bowl to drain.
4 Stir the Swiss chard into the pot and simmer over medium heat until greens become tender, about 10 minutes.
Season with salt.
5 Stir in the drained beans and raise the heat to high; bring to a boil. Stir in pasta and reduce heat to medium-high.
Cook until the pasta is tender, stirring occasionally, 12 to 15 minutes.
6 Once the pasta is tender, check the seasoning. Serve immediately in large bowls. Garnish with Parmigiano-
Reggiano cheese, a drizzle of olive oil, and red pepper flakes.
