12 slices bacon

6 cloves garlic

3 bunches kale

6 pork chops, bone-in

0.68 kg white mushrooms

black pepper

cumin, ground

Instructions

Preheat a large pot over medium-high heat.

Once the pot is hot, working in batches if necessary, add bacon and cook until crispy, 3-5 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the drippings in the pot.

Meanwhile, preheat the broiler to high and position rack about 6 inches from the top.

Place spices in a medium bowl and stir to combine the spice rub.

Pat pork chops dry with paper towels and place on a large broiler pan; season with spice rub on both sides. (Reserve bowl for later use.)

Place pork chops in the oven and broil, flipping halfway through, until chops are no longer pink in the center and are browned at the edges, 12-14 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 65°C (145°F). Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, wash, dry, and thinly slice mushrooms; place in the reserved bowl and set aside.

Peel and thinly slice garlic.

Return the pot (with bacon drippings) to medium heat. Once the pot is hot, add mushrooms and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are soft and golden, 7-8 minutes.

While the mushrooms are cooking, wash and dry kale. Fold leaves in half lengthwise and slice off the stems; chop or tear leaves into bite-sized pieces.

When the mushrooms are done, add kale to the pot in handfuls, waiting for it to wilt slightly before adding the next handful. Add water, salt, and pepper; stir to combine and cover. Cook until the kale is wilted and tender, 2-3 minutes; remove from heat.

Meanwhile, chop or crumble bacon into pieces.

Add bacon to the pot with the veggies and stir to combine.

To serve, divide pork chops and veggie sauté between plates. Enjoy!
