Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pounds kale (preferably Russian Red), stems and center ribs discarded and leaves coarsely torn
1 tablespoon minced garlic
5 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup dried cranberries (2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Cook kale in a 6-quart pot of boiling salted water (1 1/2 tablespoons salt for 4 quarts water), uncovered, until almost tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain in a colander, then immediately transfer kale to an ice bath to stop cooking. When kale is cool, drain but do not squeeze.
  • Cook garlic in oil in same pot over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add kale, dried cranberries, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and cook, tossing frequently with tongs, until kale is heated through and tender, 4 to 6 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, tender kale for the best flavor and texture.
  • Remove the tough stems from the kale before cooking.
  • Massage the kale with a little olive oil to help break down the tough fibers and make it more tender.
  • Don't overcook the kale. It should be wilted but still slightly crisp.
  • Add the pecans and cranberries towards the end of cooking so they don't burn.
  • Season the kale with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the kale as a side dish or main course.
