Instructions
- Peel and chop the apples and onion into 1/4"-1/2" dice.

- Sprinkle with a wedge of lemon juice to finish. Serve as is or topped with a fried egg.
Notes
*To de-stem kale, grab a stalk of kale and hold it by the thick (bottom end) stem with one hand. With your pointer, middle finger, and thumb of your other hand, wrap around the stem just above the leaves to grasp it. Pull down toward the tip of the stem, tearing off the leaves in one motion.
Using a very sharp knife, slice the kale thinly while rolled-up like a cigar. This method is called chiffonade. Then chop it lengthwise to create even smaller pieces.
**If you use a plain unseasoned sausage you can add 1/4 tsp dried thyme or sage to your hash when you add the apple and onions to the pan.
