Cowabunga! Kale!


This is a relatively simple recipe that yields a delicious, healthy result.
In my opinion, this Kale recipe is tastier that even mustard greens made with fatback.

Ingredients

  • Two bundles of Kale
  • 1 strip of bacon
  • 1/3 yellow onion
  • tsp chopped garlic
  • olive oil
  • 1 cu chicken broth
  • 3 tbs red wine vinegar

First: Chop.

Cut up the piece of bacon into little pieces (1cm square).
Dice the onions.
Chop up all of the Kale into 1"-2" pieces

Second: Prepare the broth

Put the chopped up piece of bacon into the skillet with a drizzle of olive oil.
Get that cooked up until it's almost done.
Add the onion and garlic.
Cook that until it's starting to turn clear.
Add chicken broth and vinegar.
Stir this until it starts to boil

Third: Steam the Kale

Now add the (big pile) of Kale into the broth.
Using a set of tongs, twist the kale around until it has all been wetted with the broth.
Now put a lid on the pan and cook for maybe 8 minutes.
Once this has passed, remove the lid and twist everything around again.
Now cook without the lid on until all of the liquid has evaporated (usually around 5 minutes)

Test the kale for tenderness. If you want it more tender and the liquid has run out, add a bit more chicken broth and cook some more.
Simple, yet super delicious.
