  1. Italian Greens With Potato, Garlic & Rosemary

  2. Serves 2. 1 pound greens (chard, broccoli rabe, spinach or beet greens)

  3. 1 medium Yukon Gold potato, unskinned (about 1/3 pound)

  4. Salt

  5. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  6. 1 3/4 ounces lean pancetta, rinsed, patted dry, finely shredded (1/4 cup)

  20. of a fork, lubricating with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Finely chop greens

  21. or crush broccoli rabe with the back of a fork.

  22. Heat remaining olive oil and pancetta in an 8-inch nonstick skillet,

  23. and cook very gently, until pancetta melts or at least becomes

  24. softened. Add rosemary, garlic, red pepper, greens and potato, and cook over medium-high heat, turning contents often with a spatula,

  25. about five minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Serve hot

  26. with a sprinkling of coarse salt and freshly ground pepper on top.

  27. Pass a dish of pickled peppers.
