About

This simple side is rich with buttery low carb vegetables and crisp bacon pieces.

This is a great accompaniment to Sunday lunch or served with white fish.

Ingredients

  • 3 cup kale
  • 3 slice – 6" long bacon
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup leeks
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, sea salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a skillet over a medium heat. Add the bacon and cook through until crisp and golden. Remove from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set to one side, leaving the fat in the pan.
  2. Melt the butter in the skillet. Thinly slice the leeks and add to the skillet, sweating gently for a minute or so to soften, then add the kale. Season and stir to combine, cooking for a minute until the kale is just wilted.
  3. Roughly tear the bacon into the cooked vegetables and toss to serve.
