Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 head curly kale stems removed
  • 3 ounces pancetta finely diced
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup white wine
  • teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.  Add olive oil and pancetta.  Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Reduce heat to medium, add shallot and cook for 1 minute.  Add garlic and cook an addition 30 seconds.
  • Add the kale and cook for 1 minute.  The leaves will sizzle a bit in the pan.
  • Add white wine and red pepper, stirring so all the leaves are steamed by the white wine.  Cook for 8 to 10 minutes until the leaves are soft and wilted and the wine is reduced.  There should only be about 2 teaspoons of liquid in the pan.
