Ingredients
4 slices bacon
1 T olive oil
3 bunches kale, stems removed, sliced into long ribbons
pinch nutmeg
salt
pepper
2 T balsamic vinegar
1/2 C walnuts, chopped
Instructions
Cook bacon. Drain on paper towel. When cooled, crumble and set aside. Discard fat from pan (or reserve a bit for cooking).
Add olive oil (if all bacon fat was discarded), when hot, add kale and some seasonings. Use tongs to turn and mix kale, as it wilts down, add more kale and more seasonings. Cook over medium-low heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until all kale is wilted. Add 2 T balsamic vinegar. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Add water to the bottom of a pot with a steamer basket (about an inch deep, or not touching the bottom of the basket). Add carrots to the steamer basket. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes or so.
Time for an easy dinner, a simple snack, a quick lunch.
Let’s do this.
I did.
All it takes is a tortilla, some beans, and a sprinkle of cheese. Get some oil nice and hot. Fry ’em up. Eat ’em all. You’re gonna want to. Trust me.
Grab a handful of corn chips. Spoon out some salsa and Greek yogurt. Get ready to dip dip dip.
