into lardons.
Step 3
Render the bacon lardons in a pan over medium low heat.
Step 4
When the lardons are nice and crispy, take them out of the pan. Do not wash the pan or get rid of the fat, it will be used for caramelizing the onions.

Cook, partly covered, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft and caramelized, about 1 to 2 hours.

and a heavy pinch of
Salt (to taste)
and
Ground Black Pepper (to taste)
.
Step 9
When the kale releases its moisture, add the
Raisins (50 g)
and continue to cook for 30 minutes to an hour, until the kale is quite tender.
Step 10
While waiting, prepare the
Hazelnuts (65 g)
by chopping them.
Step 11
Add several swirls of
Apple Cider Vinegar (60 mL)
and taste. Adjust the taste to your preference with the vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper.
Step 12
Finish by mixing in the bacon and hazelnuts. Reserve some of each to top the finished dish.
