Every component of this recipe makes all the rest even better. These are the best roast/toasted/seasoned walnuts I've tasted and they compliment the creamy, bacony green goodness to perfection. The only mistake I made was a bit too much salt...the pancetta pretty much takes care of that for you. Thank you for this recipe (and I love that it doesn't take long to make)

I did this tonight and it was really good. I would make it again. Rather than the heavy cream, I substituted a small amount of coconut cream with a dollop of fat free yogurt. The savoury of the pancetta combined with the bitter of the kale is definitely the highlight of the dish. A unique dish.

This dish is a real winner in so many respects. Kale is so great for you, and, by dressing it up a little decadent pancetta and splash of cream, you make it irresistible to those who wouldn't otherwise eat it. Good for you. I'm trying this one this weekend.

What temperature do you recommend for roasting the walnuts? I'm making this on Sunday!! ;o)

I usually just do mine in a 300 degree (F) oven...or sometimes on the stovetop so I can keep a closer eye on them (I have a tendency to forget about nuts and/or coconut in the oven and burn it to a crisp).

I'll be making this very soon. It looks wonderful. I'm curious about the cream tho, I've never used that with kale. Is it reduced a bit on heat?

I think it's a lot like using cream with other greens (like spinach)...it will reduce a little bit, but there is only a touch...so it definitely doesn't water the dish down. Let me know how you like it!

Thanks! I live alone, so I always have leftovers, but I hate eating the same thing twice in a row! Remixing is always on my mind! Glad this struck a chord with you too! :)
