Kale - Sauteed with Carrots and Leeks



      This is a wonderful and easy to make side dish that is full of flavor and nutrition, especially high in vitamin A and C and fiber.  If you don't have or like kale, try spinach or any other hardy green.  







Ingredients:
1/2 lb of kale
1 cup of shredded carrot
1/4 cup of leeks or onions, shredded
3 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
salt and pepper to taste
3 strips of cooked bacon

Remove the stems of the kale and chop into 1" pieces...or buy it that way.  Unlike most other prepared vegetables, it's about the same price in most stores.

Put the kale, carrot and leeks into a large pan and add the broth.  Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat. 

Uncover and stir.  Simmer uncovered until most of the liquid has evaporated and the kale is wilted and tender, stirring occasionally.  Salt and pepper to taste, the amount will also depend upon the broth you used.  

Present in a large bowl and top with bacon.  That's it!  Elegant and healthy cooking that's so easy, but so impressive looking. And it tastes good too.
