Braised Kale

2 strips bacon, sautéed and crumbled
1 TB butter or margarine
1 small onion, chopped
1 lb. kale, stems discarded, leaves coarsely chopped
1 TB red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/8 tsp. ground allspice

Sauté the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Crumble and set aside.

Add the butter to the drippings in the skillet. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes.

Rinse the kale with cold water. Add the wet kale to the skillet. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 15 minutes.

Stir in the vinegar, salt, pepper and allspice. Cook, uncovered, until most of the liquid is evaporated, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the bacon and serve. Serves: 4.
