- Season with salt and pepper and transfer to
a bowl. - Repeat with remaining kale and garlic, using the reserved bacon fat as needed.
- Return all the kale to the frying pan and add the heavy cream.
- Simmer over low heat until the kale is tender, about 10 minutes.

- Recipe can be made to this point several hours ahead.
