Ingredients

  • 4 slices thick-cut applewood bacon sliced
  • 1 small red onion diced
  • 1 clove garlic squeezed through a garlic press
  • 3 cups frozen sweet corn thawed (or 3 ears of sweet corn cut off the cob)
  • 1/2 red bell pepper diced
  • 4 green onions sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 4 handfuls kale
  • kosher salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add the diced bacon into a skillet and heat over medium. Stir occasionally until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Drain off all but a tablespoon of fat.
  • Add the diced red onion to the skillet and cook until soft. About 5 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook for one minute.
  • Add in the diced red peppers, corn, sliced green onions and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir until heated through. Add handfuls of the torn kale, press it down with the back of a spoon and cover the pan with a lid for 5-8 minutes or until the kale is soft and wilted.
  • Combine the bacon in with the corn and kale, taste and season with kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!
