Ally's Kitchen: Super Antioxidant Kale Greens

I don't know what to say about this kale other than the name doesn't do this dish justice.  It would much better be called The Kale to End All Kale Dishes, The Side Dish That Demands To Be the Main, Ender of Complaints About Veggies.  All jokes aside, this kale is so good that I almost ate the whole darn pot in one sitting.  I could see this being fabulous with some rice or maybe some fresh bread.  Certainly did not miss my meat at all.  And you might even convert some veggie haters.

Super Antioxidant Kale Greens
Adapted from Ally's Kitchen

2 bunches lacinato kale

½ cup bacon drippings
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast flakes
2 teaspoons Badia Complete seasoning
½ teaspoon red chili flakes
1 cup chicken broth

Wash the kale well. Destem and chop up the kale. 

In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt the bacon drippings, if solid from the refrigerator.  Add the seasonings to the hot fat and stir to mix.  Add the chopped kale and use tongs to start tossing with the fat and seasonings.  The kale will begin to wilt.

When the kale is well-coated with the seasonings, add the chicken broth.  Toss again and turn the heat down to medium.  Cover and cook for about 20 minutes.  Remove the lid and turn the heat back up, allowing any extra liquid to bubble off, leaving a nice saucy coating on the kale.
