Bacon-Simmered Kale

1.5 qt kale (coarsely chopped, measured loosely) ½ lb. bacon (chopped) 4 clove garlic (minced) 1 tsp vinegar, red wine salt, kosher to taste black pepper to taste

Instructions

Crisp bacon on medium-high heat in a large pan, or a pot Turn the bacon down to low; leave the fat Add the garlic; simmer for 30 seconds to a minute Add the kale and turn occasionally - kale reduces quite a lot while cooking When reduced - a few minutes - take off the heat. How much to cook it down is personal preference - if you like your greens to crunch and snap, simmer it less; if you like it completely wilted, simmer more. Splash on some red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper, and enjoy
