SAUTéED KALE WITH ONION AND BACON



Sautéed Kale with Onion and Bacon image

Gina: Some Southern greens benefit from long, slow cooking, but kale is best prepared as a speedy sauté. Shredding the kale allows it to cook even faster, keeping its bright color and abundant nutrients (calcium, vitamins A and C) intact. Adding bacon, onion, and the unexpected flavor of smoked Spanish paprika creates a spectacular side dish that just might steal the show from the main course. For a quick, satisfying dinner, you could also toss this sauté with whole-wheat pasta, and finish the dish with toasted pine nuts and grated Parmesan cheese.

Yield serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 pounds (about 4 bunches) kale, tough stems and center ribs cut off and discarded
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 strips thick-sliced bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large onion, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Generous pinch crushed red-pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika
1 cup Chicken Stock (page 28) or water
2 teaspoons sherry-wine vinegar
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Stack a few kale leaves and roll them lengthwise into a cigar shape. Cut the leaves crosswise into 1/4 inch wide strips with a sharp knife. Repeat with the remaining kale leaves. (See note.)
  • Heat the olive oil in a wide 6 to 8 quart pot over moderate heat. Add the bacon, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned but still soft, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Pour off and discard all but 3 tablespoons of oil and fat from the pot, and then add the onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes, and cook over low heat, stirring, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the kale, bacon, and smoked paprika to the pot, and cook, turning with tongs, until the kale is wilted and bright green, about 1 minute. Add the stock or water and simmer, partially covered, until the leaves are just tender, 6 to 10 minutes. Add the vinegar, and toss to combine; taste for seasonings, and add salt, pepper, or more vinegar as desired.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh kale: Look for kale with deep green, unblemished leaves. Avoid kale that is wilted or has yellow or brown spots.
  • Wash kale thoroughly: Kale can harbor dirt and grit, so it's important to wash it thoroughly before using. Rinse the kale under cold water and remove any tough stems.
  • Chop kale into bite-sized pieces: This will help the kale cook evenly and make it easier to eat.
  • Use thick-cut bacon: Thick-cut bacon will provide more flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Cook the bacon until crispy: This will help to render out the fat and give the bacon a delicious flavor.
  • Add the kale to the pan after the bacon has been cooked: This will help to prevent the kale from becoming overcooked.
  • Stir the kale frequently while cooking: This will help to ensure that the kale cooks evenly.
  • Season the kale with salt and pepper to taste: You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or red pepper flakes.
  • Serve the kale immediately: Kale is best served immediately after it is cooked, while it is still tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Quick Kale with Bacon and Onions is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It's easy to make and packed with flavor, thanks to the combination of crispy bacon, sweet onions, and tender kale. This dish is also a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals.
