Ingredients

Instructions

  • Chop the bacon into small pieces and place in a cold skillet. Heat over medium high heat, stirring occasionally, until bacon is crispy. If bacon releases a lot of fat, leave 2-3 tablespoons in the pan and save the rest in the refrigerator for another use.
  • Add kale and 2 tablespoons broth. Stir and cook until broth evaporates. Add another 2 tablespoons broth and cook, stirring occasionally until broth evaporates. Continue until kale is completely cooked (3-5 minutes).
  • Add crushed garlic and lemon juice. Stir and cook 1 more minute.
