Bacon Braised Kale with LeRoy and Lewis

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: smoked sausage

Turkey bacon reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water + bouillon

Vegetable broth is lower in calories and can be homemade.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Take bacon ends and cut them into large dice.

Cook bacon in a skillet until it renders and gets crispy, scraping the bottom to prevent sticking.

Add chopped kale to the skillet and mix continuously as it cooks down.

Add hoisin sauce for sweetness and depth of flavor.

Add fish sauce for umami flavor.

Add toasted sesame oil for flavor.

Add sambal for heat and rice vinegar for tanginess.

Mix everything together and cook until well combined and heated through.

Serve in third pans and dish out into small boats.
