I added unsalted sunflower seeds the same time I added the cranberries and garlic. This added an extra little crunch and was a hit with everyone over for Thanksgiving!
I didn't think I liked kale until I tried this recipe - now I make it at least once a week! It is super quick and has tons of flavor.
A very tasty and quick way to serve kale! If there are leftovers, add a splash of balsamic vinegar and serve as a salad for lunch the next day.
I didn't think *I* liked kale either, but I made this for a presentation at a farmer's market, and it was really good! For the other kale newbies: 6 cups of kale *looks* like a lot, but it cooks down to a manageable amount of food. The red cranberries are very festive against the greens, and I'll definitely be including this dish at my holiday table.
Works well with fresh spinach too.
