Method
- Wash the kale or cavolo nero thoroughly and, while still wet, put in a hot pan over a medium heat. Cover with a lid and steam for 5 minutes until just tender. Refresh under cold water, then drain and set aside.
- Heat the oil and butter in a pan and fry the onion over a low heat for 5 minutes. Add the bacon and fry for a further 5-10 minutes until the bacon is starting to crisp and the onion is tender.
- Add the kale, red wine vinegar and maple syrup, then cook for 5-10 minutes until the kale is tender and sticky. Season generously to serve.
