Braised Greens with Pancetta

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté Pancetta

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Add the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the pan, stirring to combine.

  4. 4

    Add Greens and Broth

    Add the chopped kale to the skillet and pour in the vegetable broth. Stir well to combine.

  5. 5

    Braised Cooking

    Cover the skillet and reduce heat to low. Let the greens simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender.

  6. 6

    Finish with Cheese

    Once the greens are tender, remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Adjust seasoning if needed.
