Garlicky Quinoa & Baby Kale

1. 1

   In a large pan fitted with a lid, render the bacon over medium-low heat until crisp. Once the bacon is crisp, remove it with a slotted spoon to a paper towel to drain. Reserve 1-2 teaspoons of the drippings and discard the rest.

2. 2

   Place the pan back over medium-low heat and add the baby kale, garlic, and lemon juice. Stir a bit to coat and then place a lid on top. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the kale to wilt.

3. 3

   Remove the lid and stir in the cooked quinoa and red pepper flakes. Season to taste. Stir in the crisped bacon, remove from the heat and serve!
