Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to bring this dish to life:
- 1 bunch of fresh kale, washed and chopped
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for extra flavor)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for a kick)
- 1 tablespoon vinegar (apple cider or balsamic, your choice)
Instructions
Now, let’s get cookin’:
- Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it’s soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Next, toss in the minced garlic and let that sauté for an additional minute. You want that garlic to be fragrant but not burnt, honey!
- Now, it’s time to add the kale. You might think it looks like a mountain, but trust me, it cooks down beautifully. Stir in the kale with the onion and garlic until it’s well combined.
- Pour in the vegetable (or chicken) broth, add the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if you like it spicy. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Cover the pot and let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until the kale is tender and full of flavor.
- Once done, stir in the vinegar for that perfect finishing touch. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- You’re ready to serve this stewed kale hot, alongside your favorite main dish. Enjoy!
