Tips:

  • Choose the right kale. Lacinato kale, also known as dinosaur kale, is the best choice for sautéing as it holds up well to high heat.
  • Wash the kale thoroughly. Kale can be gritty, so be sure to wash it well before cooking.
  • Remove the tough stems. The stems of kale can be tough and fibrous, so it's best to remove them before cooking.
  • Cut the kale into bite-sized pieces. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When sautéing kale, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent it from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Cook the kale over high heat. This will help it to brown and caramelize.
  • Season the kale to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic are all good choices.
  • Serve the kale immediately. Sautéed kale is best served immediately, while it's still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Sautéed kale with chickpeas and pancetta is a delicious and healthy side dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
