1
Prepare the Ingredients
Wash the kale thoroughly under running water. Remove the stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Mince the heirloom garlic.
2
Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet, cook the applewood smoked bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into pieces.
3
Sauté the Garlic
In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the olive oil and minced heirloom garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
4
Add the Kale
Add the chopped kale to the skillet. Toss to coat the kale with the oil and garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the kale is wilted and tender.
5
Season and Serve
Season the sautéed kale with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the crumbled bacon just before serving. Enjoy warm!
