Ingredients

2 pounds kale (preferably Russian Red), stems and center ribs discarded and leaves coarsely torn

1 or 2 tablespoons minced garlic

5 tablespoons olive oil

½ cup dried cranberries (2 ounces)

Directions

Cook kale in a 6-quart pot of boiling salted water (1½ 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, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon pepper and cook, tossing frequently with tongs, until kale is heated through and tender, 4 to 6 minutes.

I rarely cook any of the leafy green vegetables (rapini, kale, chard, spinach, bok choy) because my husband doesn't care for them (he'll eat raw spinach salads). But, I enjoy them, and I really like cranberries & garlic....This recipe is quick and easy enough that I can make a small amount - just for me. Thank you for posting this one, Dond :)

My wife was skeptical about this dish, but she polished off a heaping plateful, so you might give it a shot. It helps that the kale is just al dente when it goes into the ice bath. I try to keep just a little of its crunch. Actually, once you toss in the cranberries, salt, and pepper, you don't really have to heat it for a full 4 minutes if you like the kale a bit more solid.
