Not much to this dish. We had the butterbeans and cornbread leftover from the other day. A quick saute of some kale in bacon grease and chicken stock and this was a done thing. We cooked a half dozen slices of bacon and set them aside to drain, then added a couple of minced garlic cloves and a little diced onion to the fat, gave them a minute to flavor the pan, and then dumped in the kale. Separate the tough stems and rough chop or tear the leaves. I tossed the greens a little to coat them with the bacon and then added a half cup of chicken stock and covered the pan. Let the kale tenderize in the steam for five minutes then uncover and toss until the liquids evaporates. I ladled the warmed over beans onto a bed of the kale and crumbled the crisp bacon and the cornbread over them. I squeezed a lemon into the kale to add a bright note but that is optional.
