Author Notes: This is a quick, simple kale side dish boosted with a spike of red wine vinegar and nutmeg. It's a great, hearty substitute for sauteed spinach, and is especially good with southern and spicy foods (I most often pair this with jerk chicken!). - One Hungry Mama
Serves 2 to 4
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic, minced
- 2 bunches kale, cleaned, stemmed & torn into pieces
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- Heat oil over medium in a large dutch oven. Add garlic. Saute until it begins to turn brown.
- Add kale, tossing to coat with oil and garlic. You may need to do this in batches, allowing one batch to wilt slightly before adding the next.
- Once all of the kale is slightly wilted, add 1/2 cup chicken broth. Turn heat to medium-high and cook for about 1-2 minutes, until liquid cooks off. When it has, add remaining 1/2 cup broth, cover, turn heat to medium-low, and let cook for about 20 minutes, until kale is tender.
- Uncover and turn heat to medium. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing most of excess liquid to cook off. Add nutmeg and vinegar. Cook just a few more minutes, until sauce cooks down to a nice coating.

This made the perfect accompaniment to our New Year's Day dinner: flavorful, silky, and decadent-tasting (though very healthful!). Will be our go-to recipe for kale from now on.
