Braised Kale

• Sea salt
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 1/2 pounds kale, stems removed, roughly chopped

1. Place a large saute pan over medium heat.
2. Sprinkle the bottom with a pinch of salt and heat for 1 minute.
3. Add the oil and heat for 30 seconds, being careful not to let it smoke.
4. This will create a nonstick effect.
5. Add the kale and saute for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until wilted.
6. Add the stock, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for 5 minutes.
7. Remove from the heat and stir in the Earth Balance.
