Sautéed Kale with Onion and Bacon image

Yield serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 pounds (about 4 bunches) kale, tough stems and center ribs cut off and discarded
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 strips thick-sliced bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large onion, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Generous pinch crushed red-pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika
1 cup Chicken Stock (page 28) or water
2 teaspoons sherry-wine vinegar
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Stack a few kale leaves and roll them lengthwise into a cigar shape. Cut the leaves crosswise into 1/4 inch wide strips with a sharp knife. Repeat with the remaining kale leaves. (See note.)
Heat the olive oil in a wide 6 to 8 quart pot over moderate heat. Add the bacon, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned but still soft, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Pour off and discard all but 3 tablespoons of oil and fat from the pot, and then add the onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes, and cook over low heat, stirring, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the kale, bacon, and smoked paprika to the pot, and cook, turning with tongs, until the kale is wilted and bright green, about 1 minute. Add the stock or water and simmer, partially covered, until the leaves are just tender, 6 to 10 minutes. Add the vinegar, and toss to combine; taste for seasonings, and add salt, pepper, or more vinegar as desired.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 bunch fresh kale, chopped
1 c white mushrooms, sliced
4 slice bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
1 Tbsp minced garlic
2 tsp turmeric, ground
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
1 Tbsp butter
1-2 tsp lemon juice, fresh squeezed

Steps:

1. Fry up the bacon and then set aside. Sauté the onions in oil and butter for a few minutes and then add your mushrooms. Let them cook down for 5 minutes and then add your chopped up kale, garlic, vinegar and turmeric. Cover with a lid for about 30 minutes on a medium heat; stirring occasionally.
2. Give it a stir 2 or 3 times while waiting for kale to cook down. I added a 1/4 cup of water because it seemed too dry in the pan. Crumble your bacon and add to your pan. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
