Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 ounces country ham (see Note), pancetta or prosciutto
  • 15 cups stemmed, torn and rinsed kale
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Cooking Instructions

Heat oil in a wide deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, stir, and immediately add ham (or pancetta or prosciutto). Add kale by the handful, stirring to make room for more leaves. When all the kale has been added, add water and crushed red pepper; stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Uncover and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the water has evaporated and the kale is tender, 10 to 15 minutes more. Serve warm.

This is not Southern and certainly not Kentucky

No one from Kentucky would cook their Kale using these ingredients.

    If there is only one argument to make for the healthfulness of Southern food, it's the variety and sheer amount of leafy greens. I prefer kale, but mustard, turnip and collards all have their champions, and many cooks mix them.
