[Sca-cooks] Kale with bacon

[Gretchen R Beck]

It's not kale with bacon, but I do pretty much the same thing with kale and a mixture of olive and sesame oil. I don't bother cooking until soft, just until it's wilted. Add a little soy sauce towards the end and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

It's also darned good used instead of white cabbage in colcannon.

toodles, margaret

Kale - trim the stems, wash the leaves, cut into bite sized pieces.
It will not cook down like spinach, though it will wilt. I add a little
balsamic vinegar.
It is not as bitter as mustard or collard greens.
I would cut the bacon into small pieces, render out the fat, pour most of
it off, add the kale, and cook until soft.
Salt and vinegar to taste.

One's sense of honor is the only thing that does not grow old, and the last
pleasure, when one is worn out with age, is not, as the poet said, making
money, but having the respect of one's fellow men.
-Thucydides
When you face a liar, look not first at the lie itself, but try hard to
learn more of the liar and reason out just why he tells such a falsehood
before you render judgment upon him. And if you find that liar is motivated
by malice and spite, then render that judgment which causes his doom.
