Steps:
- *Note: some cooks prefer to leave kale ribs and stalks intact-your choice. Depending on the variety of kale, if the stalks and ribs are thick, I remove them. A salad spinner is handy for washing the kale.
- Shred kale finely and place in a steamer basket fitted in a pot. Don't forget to add a couple inches of water to the pot!
- Throw in the garlic.
- Bring water to the boil. Cover pan, reduce heat to low and steam kale for approximately 10 minutes, or until tender.
- Remove from heat to serving dish. Toss with a little bit of oil of choice, if desired.
- Season with salt and cracked black pepper to taste.
