Southern-Style Braised Kale

Tangy & tender.

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Wash kale & remove leaves from tough portions of stem. Roughly chop into approximately 1 inch pieces.

Step 2

Cut bacon into 1/4 inch chunks, place into pan over medium heat with small amount of olive oil. Cook until fat is rendered & bacon is crisp.

Step 3

Once bacon is crisp, add 3 whole garlic cloves, several shakes of crushed red pepper flakes (if desired), & about 1/3 of the chopped kale to pan. Increase heat to medium high. Stir & continue to fold kale over until wilted. Once wilted, continue to add rest of kale in batches, until all kale is wilted.

Step 4

Add vinegar, tomatoes, & chicken broth. Bring mixture to boil, then cover & reduce to a low simmer for about 30 minutes until kale is to your desired tenderness.
