Joe Beef's Kale for a Hangover

Ingredients

  • Salt
  • 1 bunch kale, stems removed and roughly chopped
  • 4 slices bacon, cut into lardons
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) dry white wine
  • Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Small squeeze of fresh lemon juice
  • 1 egg (optional)

Method

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add kale and cook for 10 minutes, or until soft. Drain well and squeeze lightly. Transfer to a cutting board and chop finely. Set aside.

In a frying pan, fry bacon over medium-high heat for about 6 minutes, or until crisp. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until translucent. Lower the fire to medium-low, add the garlic, and sweat for 1 minute. Add the kale, wine, and a pinch each of salt and pepper and cook for 3 to 4 minutes to blend the flavours. If the mixture looks really shiny, scoop out a little of the fat and add a bit of water, and then add the butter. Mix in the lemon juice.

Move the bacon and kale mixture to a plate and fry an egg in the same pan. Serve the egg of top of the bacon and kale. Go to bed.
