Step 1

Chop up a red onion (or a generous amount of shallots would also be good) and saute in olive oil until they are just starting to brown, about 3-4 minutes over medium heat.

Step 2

Then add 2 cloves finely minced garlic and saute about 1 minute more.

Step 3

While the onions cook, cut away kale stems and discard, then chop the kale leaves into bite-sized pieces and wash and dry. I used a salad spinner (affiliate link), but you can wash in the sink and dry with paper towels.

Step 4

Add the chopped kale to the pan with the onion/garlic mixture and let it wilt.

Step 5

Then add 1/2 cup water and let the kale cook uncovered for 5-10 minutes until the pan is almost dry.

Step 6

Add another 1/2 cup water and let the kale continue to cook until the pan is nearly dry again. The kale is starting to get that “melted” look.

Step 7

Add another 1/2 cup water and cook again for 5-10 minutes; then taste the greens and see if they are melt-in-your-mouth tender. If needed, you can add water a fourth time and cook a bit longer. The greens should be moist but not soaked with water when they are done.

Step 8

Season with vinegar if desired and serve hot or warm.
