1/2 ounce olive oil
9 slices turkey bacon-cut into 1/2 inch pieces
5 ounces pearl onions
1/2 pound kale-trimmed, leaves sliced 1/2 inch (feel free to sub collard greens)
1.5 cloves garlic
8 ounces Cannellini white beans-strained and rinsed
3/4 cup orzo
salt to taste
pepper to taste
cayenne to taste
paprika to taste

1
To remove skin from pearl onions, simply blanch and shock them: in a pot, bring water to a boil, add onions to water and boil for 30 seconds; remove onions from boiling water and immediately place into an ice bath (bowl filled with water and ice, to stop the cooking process). Now, simply pop the skins off!
2
Heat olive oil in pan and add turkey bacon. Cook until crispy; remove from pan; reserve.
3
Add pearl onions and kale to the same pan (which should have the bacon juices in it); season well, zest garlic into the pan, and saute until tender.
4
Once tender, stir in beans; mix and turn heat off.
5
In a separate pot, cook orzo according to directions (simply boil water with salt and add orzo); cook until al dente; strain.
6
Add turkey bacon and orzo back to the pot with all of the other ingredients and mix well.
