Atkins Pork Recipes

Ingredients:

1 lb kale, coarse stems discarded

LEAVES WASHED AND


CHOP COARSE

4 oz sliced bacon, 1/2' pieces
1 small onion, chop fine
1/4 tsp red-pepper flakes
4 clove garlic, chop fine
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions:

The strong flavors of garlic and bacon are a great match for kale. The kale
can be blanched up to three days ahead.

1. In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook kale until tender,
about 10 minutes. Drain; reserve 1/2 cup cooking water. Rinse kale under
cold water and pat dry.

2. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove
bacon from pan and set aside. Reduce heat to low; add onion and pepper
flakes to bacon drippings. Cook 10 minutes, until onion is tender and
lightly golden. Add garlic during last minute of cooking time. Drain off
excess fat.

3. Return kale, reserved cooking water and vinegar to skillet. Mix well and
heat through. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with Parmesan.
