braised kale and garlic

Kale is apparently a super super-food. Check this out, Kale scores highest (tied with Collards) on Dr. Fuhrman’s Nutrient Density Index (ANDI). 1,000 points to walnut’s 34! This is an easy way to prepare them, and it’s so delicious I can eat an entire bunch (head?) with dinner.

Soak and then rinse every nook and cranny of a bunch of kale (nothing is worse than gritty kale)
Trim out coarse center vein in each leaf of kale, roughly chopping the remainder of each leaf
In a soup pot or good sized pan, spray cooking spray and sizzle one or two cloves garlic (diced) for a few minutes until they start to brown
Optional: also add diced fresh ginger (an inch or so)
Add kale to pot
Splash with a good amount of white wine (1/2 cup?), a few shakes of soy sauce and juice of one lemon
Cover and cook over medium heat until well done… 10-15 minutes.

If you are not serving right away, hold off on adding the lemon – as it will cause the kale to turn it a little brown.
