Ingredients

• 1 bunch Lacinato kale
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
• sea salt (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Wash the kale and tear into bite-sized pieces. Place a large non-stick sauté pan on the stove and fill it with just enough water to cover the bottom. Stir in the maple syrup. Heat over medium-high heat until liquid bubbles. Add the kale and stir to coat with the liquid. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove cover and continue to cook until the remainder of the liquid evaporates. Serve at once, letting each person add salt to taste at the table, if necessary.

Hints: Try this with other greens, such as collards or Swiss chard. Add some shredded carrots to the greens as they are cooking for color and taste.
