Kale

No pics, but I did want to mention I tried Kale. I'm not new to it, but have only ever braised it. I didn't do much different, simply trying a JoC recipe adding . . .bacon.

That's right, in answer to, "what goes well with Kale", the answer is "bacon".

Basically chop up two slices of bacon and cook it. Remove. Add some olive oil and cook a chopped onion. Remove that. Add some olive oil, braise the kale, let the kale cook down, add back in the onion, the bacon, and nutmeg. Salt to taste. Let that cook for about fifteen minutes, stirring.

It's good. Not fancy, and done right it doesn't overwhelm the kale with bacon-ness.

I omitted the onion but will give this a shot again. When I do = pix.
