- Cook the bacon in a nonstick frying pan over a medium-high heat, until crisp and golden. Drain the bacon on kitchen paper, reserving 1 tsp of bacon fat, then roughly chop.
- Return the pan to a medium heat, add the reserved bacon fat and the olive oil, along with the swede, thyme and garlic; season well. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the swede is softened and golden.
- Add the vinegar, honey and reserved bacon. Cook for a further 5-10 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed. Serve immediately.
