(Adapted from Grace Parisi’s recipe on the Food & Wine website)
Serves 2 (If you double it to serve 4 you’ll need a bigger pan than my 12-inch cast iron skillet. I’d probably use a Dutch oven.)
2 thick slices of bacon
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ large onion, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
1 garlic clove, minced
¾ pound kale (about 1 bunch), stems and inner ribs discarded, leaves coarsely chopped, washed and dried
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1. In a large skillet, cook the bacon in the olive oil over medium low heat, turning occasionally. When the bacon is done the way you like it, remove it leaving the bacon grease in the pan.
2. Coarsely chop the bacon and set aside.
3. Raise the heat to medium and add the onion and garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 6 minutes, or until the onion and garlic are just starting to brown.
4. Add the kale to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper and stir.
5. When the kale has wilted a bit, stir in the cider vinegar. Cover the pan, raise the heat to medium high, and cook for about 5 minutes or until the kale is tender.
6. Stir in the bacon and serve.
