Kale with Dijon and Bacon

I'm in love with this super green.  It great for you and the slightly bitter notes add so much to so many dishes.  The sharp mustard adds a great depth to a classic combination of bacon and greens.

3 pounds kale, stems and center ribs discarded
5 bacon slices, chopped
1 bunch scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons grainy mustard

Cook kale in a large pot of boiling salted water (1 tablespoon salt for 6 quarts water) until just tender, 10 to 13 minutes, then drain.
Cook bacon in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat until crisp. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel to drain. Discard all but 2 tablespoons fat from pan, then cook scallions until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in kale and mustard and cook over medium-low heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until very tender, about 10 minutes. Serve topped with bacon and Enjoy!
