• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/3 cup fresh breadcrumbs, from 1 slice country bread, such as pain au levain
• 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 large bunch kale, any variety, stems and ribs removed
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 small yellow onion, finely diced

6. Add the kale and measured salt.
7. Cook at a steady boil until the kale is tender, about 2 to 3 minutes, depending on the variety (curly kale takes a bit longer than flat kalekeep tasting so you dont overcook it; it should be tender but not mushy).

10. Meanwhile, heat the measured oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
