Kale for a Hangover
- Salt
- 1 bunch kale, stems removed and roughly chopped
- 4 slices bacon, thick fall lardons (see Theory #3, page 166)
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) dry white wine
- Pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Small squeeze of fresh lemon juice
- 1 egg (optional)
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the kale and cook for 10 minutes, or until soft.
- Drain well and squeeze lightly.
- Transfer to a cutting board and chop finely.
- Set aside.
- In a frying pan, fry the bacon over medium-high heat for about 6 minutes, or until crisp.
- Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until translucent.
- Lower the fire to medium-low, add the garlic, and sweat for 1 minute.
- Add the kale, wine, and a pinch each of salt and pepper and cook for 3 to 4 minutes to blend the flavors.
- If the mixture looks really shiny, scoop out a little of the fat and add a bit of water (see Theory #4, page 167), and then add the butter.
- Mix in the lemon juice.
- Move the bacon and kale mixture to a plate and fry an egg in the same pan.
- Serve the egg on top of the bacon and kale.
- Go to bed.
