Ingredients

¼ cup olive oil or coconut oil
1 medium garlic clove halved
¼ cup pine nuts
¼ cup hazelnuts finely chopped
4 slices bacon cooked and diced
¼ t sea salt optional
½ t black pepper freshly ground
1 lb watercress finely chopped

Instructions

In a heavy 12-inch skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the garlic clove, and cook for 2 minutes stirring constantly.
Remove the garlic, and discard it.
Add all the nuts to the garlic-infused oil, and cook for 5–6 minutes, or until they are browned (stir constantly to prevent burning).
Add the bacon, sea salt (if desired), and black pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes.
Rinse and dry the watercress. Add it to the oil.
Working quickly, toss the watercress into the mixture, making sure it is well coated and barely heated through (if left too long it loses some of its crispiness).
Season to taste, and serve immediately.
