Works well with fresh spinach too.

Great quick recipe for all the kale in my garden! We didn't use the onion...it turned out so well and everyone had seconds.

I didn't think *I* liked kale either, but I made this for a presentation at a farmer's market, and it was really good!  For the other kale newbies:  6 cups of kale *looks* like a lot, but it cooks down to a manageable amount of food. The red cranberries are very festive against the greens, and I'll definitely be including this dish at my holiday table.

A very tasty and quick way to serve kale!  If there are leftovers, add a splash of balsamic vinegar and serve as a salad for lunch the next day.

I didn't think I liked kale until I tried this recipe - now I make it at least once a week!  It is super quick and has tons of flavor.

I added unsalted sunflower seeds the same time I added the cranberries and garlic. This added an extra little crunch and was a hit with everyone over for Thanksgiving!
