FRIED KALE WITH MUSHROOMS AND BACON
Voted Members' Choice! Such a wonderfully savory side dish! This recipe reminded me a bit of the spinach salad with hot bacon dressing that my grandma used to make... only modernized to the max! Enjoy.

Steps:
- Fry up the bacon and then set aside. Sauté the onions in oil and butter for a few minutes and then add your mushrooms. Let them cook down for 5 minutes and then add your chopped up kale, garlic, vinegar and turmeric. Cover with a lid for about 30 minutes on a medium heat; stirring occasionally.
- Give it a stir 2 or 3 times while waiting for kale to cook down. I added a 1/4 cup of water because it seemed too dry in the pan. Crumble your bacon and add to your pan. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.

Tips:
- Choose the right kale: Look for fresh, dark green kale with no signs of wilting or yellowing. Dinosaur kale or Tuscan kale are both good choices.
- Wash the kale thoroughly: Kale can have dirt and grit, so be sure to wash it well before cooking.
- Remove the tough stems: The stems of kale can be tough, so it's best to remove them before cooking. Simply hold the kale leaf in one hand and use the other hand to pull the stem down and away from the leaf.
- Chop the kale into bite-sized pieces: This will help the kale cook evenly.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will give the kale plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the kale will steam instead of fry.
- Cook the kale over high heat: This will help it to get crispy.
- Stir the kale frequently: This will help it to cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
- Season the kale to taste: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good options.
- Serve the kale immediately: Fried kale is best served hot and crispy.
