Braised Kale

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

  • 4 ounces sliced pancetta, chopped

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 1 1/2 pounds kale, trimmed, washed and roughly chopped

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock

Directions

Heat the EVOO in a large skillet over high heat. Add the chopped pancetta and cook until crispy, 2-3 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add the greens and wilt them down, tossing frequently. Sprinkle in the sugar, toss, then deglaze the pan with vinegar and add in 1/2 cup stock. Reduce heat to low and let the kale mellow a few minutes.
