Kale With Bacon & Onions
- 1 bunch Kale, Stalk Removed, Chopped Into 1-inch Strips (I Used Curly Kale But Prefer Tuscan)
- 4 ounces, weight Slab Bacon Or Thick-cut Bacon, Cut Into 1/2 Inch Cubes
- 1/2 whole Medium Onion, Chopped
- 1 pinch Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 whole Lemon (cut Into Wedges For Serving)
- Place bacon in a large, cold, non-stick pan. Turn the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally until browned and starting to crisp on the outside, 10-12 minutes. Reduce the heat, if needed, to prevent the bacon from burning. Add onion to the pan and season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Add a small amount of olive oil, if needed, depending on how much fat was rendered from the bacon.
- Saute over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until onions are translucent. Add the kale and cook for about 6-8 minutes or until tender with a slight bite, adding a few spoons of water, as needed, to help steam the kale. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Serve with lemon wedges. Enjoy.
