Eastern Shore Kale

The sweetness of the kale and the sour of the vinegar blend very well.  A nice tangy way to eat your greens.  Definitely use fresh for this recipe.  The frozen kale won’t absorb the flavors as well.

2 pound fresh kale, cleaned and torn, stems removed
1 pint chicken stock
1/4 lb. Smithfield ham, diced
1 cup white wine vinegar
1 tbsp. crushed red pepper
Place all ingredients in sauce pan.  Cover and bring to boil.  Reduce heat and simmer till kale is tender.  At least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour to get flavors to really blend.
You can also mix your own greens(spinach, kale, collards, etc.).
