Recipe - Squash, Sweet Potato, & Kale Hash

Browsing the internet for side dishes for some rock fish we purchased fresh from the market this weekend, I found a hash recipe that looked really good.  A few modifications to accommodate ingredients in my kitchen produced  a balanced hash that went very well with our rock fish.


INGREDIENTS:

1/2 lb. Bacon, Diced
1 Sweet Potato, Large
3 Leeks, Baby
1 Yellow Squash, Large
2 c. Kale
1 tsp. Red Wine Vinegar

INSTRUCTIONS:

(1) Dice sweet potato into 1/4 - 1/2 inch pieces.  Bring a pot of water to a boil and add sweet potatoes.  Cook for 5 minutes.  Strain and set aside.

(2) Meanwhile, clean and slice leeks. Clean and dice yellow squash.  Chop and wash kale.

(3) In cast iron skillet over medium heat cook diced bacon for 3-4 minutes.  Add potatoes and constantly mix for another 4 minutes.  Add leeks and squash, cooking for another 4 minutes.

(4) Add kale and incorporate.  Cook until kale is just wilted.  Add red wine vinegar and remove from heat.  Allow to cool and enjoy.
