Here's a recipe for a side dish of immense flavor. We use it just as often, though, as a killer ingredient in sandwiches. You can add fresh thyme or fresh rosemary to the kale during the (very) short cooking process if desired, or as we do: plenty of hot red pepper.

Steps:
- Stem the kale and wash the leaves in 2 changes of water (not necessary if using bagged, cleaned and stemmed kale). Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil, add salt to taste and the kale. Blanch for 3 minutes, then transfer to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking, and drain. Take the blanched kale up by the handful and squeeze hard to expel excess water, then chop fine.
- For seasoned kale, heat 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil over medium heat in a heavy, medium size skillet and add 1 to 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook until the garlic begins to sizzle and smell fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add the kale and salt and pepper to taste, and stir and toss in the pan for about a minute, until nicely infused with the oil and garlic. If desired, add 1 teaspoon each chopped fresh thyme and chopped fresh rosemary (for a 12-ounce bunch of kale) along with the garlic.
