Fried Kale with Mushrooms and Bacon image

Voted Members' Choice! Such a wonderfully savory side dish! This recipe reminded me a bit of the spinach salad with hot bacon dressing that my grandma used to make... only modernized to the max! Enjoy.

Categories     Vegetables

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 bunch fresh kale, chopped
1 c white mushrooms, sliced
4 slice bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
1 Tbsp minced garlic
2 tsp turmeric, ground
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
1 Tbsp butter
1-2 tsp lemon juice, fresh squeezed

Steps:

  • 1. Fry up the bacon and then set aside. Sauté the onions in oil and butter for a few minutes and then add your mushrooms. Let them cook down for 5 minutes and then add your chopped up kale, garlic, vinegar and turmeric. Cover with a lid for about 30 minutes on a medium heat; stirring occasionally.
  • 2. Give it a stir 2 or 3 times while waiting for kale to cook down. I added a 1/4 cup of water because it seemed too dry in the pan. Crumble your bacon and add to your pan. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.

I thought the dish was a bit too salty. I think I would have preferred it if there was less bacon or if the bacon was cooked a bit less.

I thought the dish was a bit bland. I think I would have preferred it if there was more seasoning.

The recipe was easy to follow, but I found that it took a bit longer to cook than the recipe said. I think it took about 30 minutes to cook the kale and mushrooms.

I found that the kale was a bit too tough, even after cooking it for the recommended amount of time. I think I would have preferred it if it was cooked for a bit longer.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if there was less bacon or if the bacon was cooked a bit longer to render out more of the fat.
