Ingredients:

Serving

2. 1/4 lb (250g) smoked bacon , chopped pretty fine. a little fat is a good thing here.
3. 1 small onion , chopped pretty fine.
4. 1 medium bell pepper , chopped pretty fine.
5. 1 medium clove garlic , chopped pretty fine.
6. a
7. a pinch or two of cumin
8. salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.
9. 1 tsp vinegar ; your choice of kind but i use wine.

Directions:

• Pick over the kress, leaving the tough stalks behind, drain well and put into a 2 gallon bowl.
• Bring a heavy skillet to med temp and toss in the chopped bacon, stir a bit.
• Chop the onion and add that, stirring.
• Chop the garlic and add that, stirring.
• Chop the bell pepper and add that, stirring.
• Add the Basil and Cumin, stirring.
• Cook all of this, stirring often, until the bacon is done but not crisp. You want to time this so the veggies are cooked but not browed.
• Turn off the heat and add the vinegar and salt and pepper, stirring.
• Get some help and slowly pour the dressing over the Water Kress while your helper tosses things vigorously, until the lot is well mixed and the kress is wilted.
Gee whiz, you made it. Too bloody easy, too bloody quick and too bloody good. Enjoy. Now and then, just for a change, I dice a small tomato and add that a minute or two before the dressing is done.
For all of you folks who grew up on this stuff forgive me but not everyone has been so fortunate. You would be surprised at how many people, from various parts of the world, who have had this at my house, have said what’s this”, “I thought you cooked this stuff to death” or “I thought you used this like parsley”.
