Claudia - This was my first time preparing it. My mama had made it once when I went back home but she had sauteed it in some olive oil and it was amazing that way too. If you try this simple side dish you'll have to share with me your thoughts.

Becka - It gave it a subtle tang. I really enjoyed it served this way. So simple and easy.

Lizzy - I am shocked by how many people now told me they haven't prepared kale. I thought I was the only one. Haha! It is simple and if you like dark leafy greens then this is a winner.

Tina - You're welcome!
