Johnna’s Easy as Kale
Ingredients
1 lb. kale (*1 bunch of kale)
2 slices of bacon (*Suggested: Wellshire Dry Rubbed Bacon, can be found at Whole Foods)
6 tbsp. olive oil
Directions
Wash and remove the stems from the kale. In a saucepan, add in 2 tbsp. olive oil over Medium-High heat.
Cut bacon into ½” to 1” pieces and add to the saucepan.
Allow it cook until browning, about 3-5 minutes.
Add in the kale and allow it to cook down until wilted, about 8-10 minutes.
Toss slightly to combine the bacon with the kale.
Remove from heat and serve.
*Johnna’s tip: E-A-S-Y. That’s what I’m about these days. The easier the better but I still believe in the fresher the better. This recipe combines a few of my favorite things: greens, olive oil and smoky flavor. The bacon can be substituted for turkey bacon or Morning Star bacon. If you are adamant about no bacon whatsoever, then try about a tbsp. of liquid smoke, which should do the trick.
