Sweet and Spicy Wilted Kale

Packed with vitamins, calcium, and fiber, this kale dish is lightly sweet and subtly spicy. Add pasta or polenta for a main course or serve alone as a side dish.

Step: 1

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until just crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Trim and discard half the fat from each piece. Dice remaining bacon.
