Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, just until soft and fragrant. You’re looking for golden and aromatic, not crispy or bitter.
  2. Add the chopped kale to the pan and turn the heat up to high. Pour in the vegetable stock and toss everything together so the kale is lightly coated. Cover the pan and cook for 5–7 minutes, until the kale is wilted but still a vibrant green.
  3. Remove the lid and continue cooking for another 1–2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the kale is tender.
  4. Season generously with salt and black pepper. Add the red wine vinegar, toss well, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat
  • Finish with lemon zest instead of vinegar for a brighter flavor
  • Toss with white beans or chickpeas for a heartier side
  • Serve under grilled fish, chicken, or tofu to soak up the garlicky oil
