Leeks (or onions), cleaned and finely sliced
Kale, tough midrib removed and chopped
Bacon, several slices, chopped
Cook bacon until crisp and reserve. In large pot, sauté leeks in oil gently until tender, 5-10 minutes. Add kale to leeks, put a lid and a little water and cook until wilted. Add bacon and drippings, mix and season with salt and pepper to taste.
