INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the broiler or grill.
Cut the duck, pork butt and pancetta into 1/4-inch cubes. Run the meat
through a grinder. The mixture should be quite rough.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat with the cinnamon, cumin
and salt. Mix very well. Divide the mixture into 8 equal oval patties,
about 1/2-inch thick. Wrap each patty in caul fat. Place the patties under
the broiler or on the grill and cook through, about 4 to 5 minutes per
side. Set aside.
In a large 12- to 14-inch saute pan, heat the olive oil until just smoking.
Add the garlic and sautJ until very light brown, about 2 minutes. Toss in
the kale and sautJ, stirring quickly, about 2 to 3 minutes, until just
wilted but not too soft. Remove from the heat and season with salt and
pepper.
Divide the mixture equally on 4 plates and serve.
Yield: 4 servings

A Message from our Provider:
“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”
