Sauteed Kale & Bacon

In a medium-sized deep frying pan, cook bacon pieces over medium heat until almost crispy. Add in kale and toss to get it worked into the bacon drippings. (If your bacon yielded little drippings, add in a splash of olive oil.) Saute over medium heat until the kale is wilted and tender, about 15 minutes. Add in balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper; toss well to get an even coating and serve.

Notes: For additional flavor, add in a shallot, minced, just before you add the kale and/or add in some cayenne or red pepper flakes at the end.

Taste the kale as you go, you might find you like it a little more crisp as opposed to wilted.

Enjoy!
