directions

  • Heat olive oil in a large saute pan that has a lid.
  • Dice up onion and saute in olive oil until onion is translucent. Add garlic and saute until garlic becomes pale golden in color.
  • Wash the kale thoroughly, and add it a handful at a time to the pan. Stir until it begins to wilt and all of it can fit in your pan.
  • Add about a half cup of broth or water, turn the heat down to low-medium and cover the pan.
  • Season with a pinch of sea salt and ground pepper. Do not leave the pan unattended for too long--set a timer if need be. The goal is to let the kale simmer in a small amount of liquid for ~30 minutes. This will require frequent stirring and the addition of small amounts of liquid to keep the kale from sticking to the pan. The longer you cook it and the more liquid you add, the more tender and delicious the dish will be--however you will lose nutritional value if you cook it too long. Taste it every now and then--when you are happy with it, take it off the heat and enjoy!

  1. This was the first time I have ever had kale. I cooked it down as instructed for 30 minutes but I did still find it bitter. If I had more time, I would have given it another few minutes and see if that makes a difference. Not bad though and I'm glad I tried something new. Thank you.
     
  2. Awesome. First Time I make kale and it came out wonderful. I couldn't stop eating it out of the pot. I cut the stalks off and tore the kale into small pieces. It cooked in 20 minutes.
     
  3. I am not usually a big kale eater because i don't care for the bitterness, but because of its health benefits, I've been trying to eat it more often. This recipe is one of the best I've had for cooking kale. The long, slow cooking time gave it a sweetness while leaving very little bitterness. I did end up cooking it for about 40 minutes before the tough stalks were finally tender enough to eat. Finally...a way to prepare kale that was easy and delicious. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe...it is definitely a keeper!!<br/>*Made for Spring 2011 PAC*
