Kale With Roasted Peppers and Olives

Serves 8
Hands-On Time: 15m
Total Time: 25m

Ingredients

* 2 large bunches kale
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
* 2 teaspoons sugar
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 12 Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
* 1 4-ounce jar roasted red peppers
* 2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar




Directions

1. Cut the kale into bite-size pieces, removing any tough stems. Rinse and shake dry.

2. Warm the oil and garlic in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Remove the garlic as soon as it browns (don't let it burn). Add the kale and stir-fry 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water, cover, and cook 8 to 10 minutes or until tender. Uncover and add the sugar, salt, olives, and peppers. Cook over medium-high heat until the liquid has evaporated.

3. Spoon into a serving dish; scatter the garlic over the top. Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar. Serve warm or at room temperature.
