Continuing to find all sorts of wonderful ways to enjoy this Super Food. How better to add a little pork to the cooking pot and let the green slowly braise over very low heat all afternoon?
1 smoked ham hock
2 T. bacon fat
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
3 cups water
1 t. chicken base
12 cups kale, washed and thick stems removed
Melt bacon fat in heavy cooking pot and brown ham hock over medium heat.
Make sure all of the kale is thoroughly washed!
Remove the ham hock from the pot and set aside for a few minutes while you brown the onions. After they get soft and translucent, add the garlic and cook for a minute or so.
Add the kale a few handfuls at a time, allowing it to cook down some before adding additional kale. Add the ham hock back to the cooking pot. Then add water and chicken base.
Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a very low simmer.
Check on the kale occasionally and stir. Let it simmer until most of the liquid is evaporated. Enjoy all the great vitamins and anti-oxidants!!!
