Step 2
Heat the oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until it's golden and aromatic (3-4 minutes). Transfer the garlic to a dish and reserve.
Step 3
Reheat the oil over medium heat, then add the kale and the broth. Cover and simmer until the kale is tender (3-4 minutes). Season with the salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving platter and top with the garlic and Parmesan, if desired.

Wonderful! We didn't saute the garlic as long because it was starting to get to brown and we also added sauteed mushrooms to it. This is one of my favorite new greens to saute.

Great! I put walnuts and low sugar cranberries on top instead of cheese. Delish!

This is the first time I have ever had kale - thought i would try it for this recipe. The sautéed garlic was mellow and not too heavy. Very, very good.
Happily surprised
