Author Notes
This is my favorite way to eat kale. I served it with a meal I brought to a friend after she had a baby. She and her husband loved it so much they decided to grow kale in their garden even though they had never really eaten kale in the past. The lemon imparts a wonderful tang to the kale and the walnuts give it a bit more substance. —Jay
Ingredients
-
1 bunch
Organic Kale chopped coarsely
-
1 tablespoon
Bacon Grease or Lard (Preferably from pastured pigs)
-
2
cloves garlic cut in half and then sliced thinly
-
1 teaspoon
Sea Salt
-
1/2 cup
Walnuts
-
1 tablespoon
lemon juice
Directions
-
In a small sauce pan toast the walnuts over low heat for 5-8 min, until fragrant. Chop into small pieces. Reserve.
-
Heat the oil in larger pan ( I love to use my cast iron skillet) over medium-high heat. Add Kale and stir until it is lightly coated with bacon grease. Cook until wilted but not overly cooked (probably less than 5 min) when it seems almost done add garlic and continue to stir until the garlic smells amazing (about 1 min). Remove from heat. Toss with salt, lemon juice, and walnuts. Sit down and enjoy!
