There are lots of options when it comes to buying kale — below we’ve shown Dinosaur kale. More commonly though, you will find curly kale — both work in this recipe. With most kale recipes, you need to remove the thick stems and any thick ribs from the leaves. Then, rinse well. After that, for this recipe, we cut the leaves into 1/4-inch ribbons. To cut the kale, if you roll the leaves up like a cigar and slice it makes things extra easy.

Makes 4 servings

You Will Need

Braised Kale

1 bunch kale (about 1/2 pound)

2 strips thick-cut bacon

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

Pinch crushed red pepper flakes

2 garlic cloves, minced

3 to 4 cups chicken or stock

Salt and fresh ground black pepper

Juice of 1 lemon

Toasts

1 tablespoon butter or extra-virgin olive oil

4 large eggs

Salt and fresh ground black pepper

4 thick slices country bread, toasted

Fresh herbs such as chives or parsley, chopped for serving

Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino Romano

Directions

  • Prepare Kale
  • 1Add bacon slices to a large pan with lid (or Dutch oven) over medium-low heat and cook until crisp. Remove bacon and reserve for serving.

    2Meanwhile, prepare the kale by removing and discarding the thick ribs and stems. Stack leaves and slice into 1/4-inch ribbons. Rinse thoroughly.

    3Drain excess bacon fat from pan then add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the diced onions. Cook until the onions soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the kale to the pan and stir until the kale is wilted.

    4Pour in enough chicken stock to cover the kale by 1/2-inch. Bring to a low simmer, cover and continue to cook until the kale is tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the kale and season with salt and pepper.

  • Make Toasts
  • 1In a non-stick skillet, fry eggs in a little olive oil or melted butter until the whites are set and the yolks still runny.

    2Add toasted bread to a plate and top with a generous spoonful of braised kale. Finish with a fried egg, crumbled bacon pieces, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, fresh herbs and grated cheese on top.
