Ingredients

7 cups kale sliced leaves (, tightly packed (1cm / 2/5" slices) (Note 1))
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
2 tbsp (30g) unsalted butter
3 - 4 large garlic cloves (, minced)
1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice ((Note 2))
2 1/4 cups chicken broth ((or vegetable))
1 - 2 tbsp (15 - 30g) butter
1/3 cup chopped almonds ((or other nuts / seeds of choice))

Steps:

Place kale in a large bowl. Drizzle over oil, sprinkle with a small pinch of salt and pepper. Scrunch with hands for 30 seconds, set aside while rice cooks.
Melt butter in a large pot over medium high heat. Add garlic and stir for 1 minute until just starting to turn golden and is incredibly fragrant.
Add rice, stir for 10 seconds.
Add broth, stir, then cover.
Turn heat down to medium or medium low so the liquid is simmering very gently. Cook for 12 - 15 minutes until all liquid is absorbed (tilt pot to check).
Quickly toss all the kale on top of the rice, put the lid back on then remove from heat.
Rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Fluff rice with fork, stirring kale through.
Lastly, stir through extra butter and add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve and sprinkle over nuts (or stir nuts through rice).
