The ingredients for Kale, cabbage and panchetta are:

1 bunch of kale, washed and thick stems removed
1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 slices bacon, cut into small pieces

⅔ cup low sodium chicken broth
⅓ cup dried cherries (or cranberries) -optional and not included in this recipes nutrition
2 Tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
Sea salt (or kosher salt) to taste

Here is how you make Kale, cabbage and panchetta:

Serving Size:?3 1.5 servingsheat pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil, the panchetta pieces, and the whole garlic cloves. Cook until the meat is browned and crisp, and with a slotted spoon remove the panchetta and garlic to a paper towel lined plate. Dont burn the garlic!Add the chicken broth to the pot. You can free-hand pour. This is not a precision dish. Pour it carefully into the pot because there will be bubbling and sputtering! Scrape all of the lovely browned bits from the bottom and return the garlic to the pot. Also add the dried cherries. Cover and allow the broth to simmer with the garlic and the cherries until the garlic is softened. Add more broth, if necessary, so the pot doesn?t dry out. Your goal is to end up with about a quarter to a half cup of sauce at the bottom of the pot. Once the garlic is softened, remove it to a small bowl and mash it with the backside of a fork. Then return it to the pot. Add de-stemmed, chopped kale to the pot. Also, add the soy sauce. Stir the kale into the soy sauce and the pan sauce. Add the chopped bacon and stir it to combine. Season as needed with sea salt - but the soy is very salty and the kale might not need much additional seasoning.
