Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 pound kale, ribs removed, coarsely chopped (see Tip)

  • ½ cup water

  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper

  • 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar or red-wine vinegar

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add kale and cook, tossing with two large spoons, until bright green, about 1 minute. Add water, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale is tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Push kale to one side, add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the empty side and cook garlic and crushed red pepper in it until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Stir in vinegar to taste and salt.

Recipe Tips & Notes:

When preparing kale for these recipes, remove the tough ribs, chop or tear the kale as directed, then wash it---allowing some water to cling to the leaves. The moisture helps steam the kale during the first stages of cooking.
