3535. CURLY KALE sauteed with GARBANZOS and BACON

1 bunch of curly kale, thoroughly washed and stems removed 1 can of garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
2-3 slices of bacon, cut into small pieces
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
salt
pepper
fresh lemon juice
olive oil

In a sautoir (a pan with sides that are 2-3 inches high) fry bacon over medium heat until crispy. Pour out most of the bacon fat. Add onion and saute for a few minutes until opaque. Add garlic. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add the garbanzos and cook for another 3 minutes or so. Add kale. It might not fit all at once so add some, cover, mix with tongs, and when it’s reduced a bit add the rest of the kale. Cook until the kale is wilted. Season with salt and pepper and some fresh lemon juice if you like that sorta stuff. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and serve.
