Always trying to include something green in every mean, this is one of my favorite "go-to" recipes, weekly. I make this and eat it over a three to four day period, either as a meal, or a side dish. You are going to love it as well.

How To Make kale with bacon, garlic, onion & cannellini beans

  • 1
    If you haven't already, cook the bacon, let drain and cool, chop and set aside. Save grease if you want to use instead of oil.
  • 2
    Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add half the oil.
  • 3
    Add half the kale, and saute, tossing consistently, until slightly wilted. Transfer to medium bowl.
  • 4
    Saute the remaining kale with a little more oil if needed and transfer to the bowl when done. Note: you can also just add a little water to the pan and steam the kale while tossing, as well.
  • 5
    Add any remaining oil to the skillet, and add the onion and garlic. Saute for a couple minutes, then add the beans, and cook another couple minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the kale.
  • 6
    Add the bacon and dash of sea salt to taste. Toss gently to mix. Enjoy!
