Braised Kale With Pinto Beans and Pancetta
MAKE IT SHINE!
ADD YOUR PHOTO
This is a really delicious recipe from Cooking Light that is perfect to use up the bounty of kale that comes around this time of year. It is hearty enough with the beans and pancetta to please a more carnivorous crowd. Please be aware that the cook times are fairly relative--everyone considers greens "done" a bit differently. I altered the recipe a bit, so I will share what I did as well :). This was great served with hot cooked farro, and I'm sure any other grain would be just as good.
