Инструкции
- Rinse kale well and tear into 3-inch pieces, discarding stems.
- Heat a large skillet with deep sides over medium.
- Slice bacon into lardons.
- Over medium heat, render bacon until fat is rendered, but still chewy. Do not discard fat.
- Add the kale to the skillet and sprinkle liberally with kosher salt and fresh-cracked pepper. Add a bit of olive oil, 2-3 tablespoons of brown sugar, and several pats of butter. The kale will be begin to wilt with the addition of the salt.
- Fold the kale, bacon and seasonings several times.
- Add the chicken broth or other braising liqiud. Be adventurous here! You can use the steaming liquid from another vegetable, a crisp sauvignon blanc, beer, or even Red Bull. Anything that will marry well with the brown sugar and bacon.
- Cover loosely and braise 15-20 minutes.
- Plate in a shallow server and drench with the remaining braising liquid. Make sure there is a plenty of crusty bread for sopping the liquid.
