  • 1 lb kale (tough stems and center ribs discarded and leaves cut into 1 inch wide strips 8 cups)
  • 2 tbsps olive oil
  • 1 red onion (halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise)
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)

  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar (taste)
  • 1/4 tsp salt          

Preparation

Cook kale in a 6-quart pot of boiling salted water , uncovered, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 10 minutes, then drain in a colander.
Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté, stirring, until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to moderate, then add kale and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
