Instructions

  1. Cook kale in a 6 quart pot of boiling salted water (4 quarts water, 1 tsp salt) for 7-8 minutes. Use a pair of tongs to push kale down into the water so it will all fit at once. Drain in a colander, pressing out excess water, and reserve. Heat oil in the same pot and sweat onion over medium heat, stirring frequently, until soft (~10 minutes).
