Kale With Spicy Relish


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup seeded and diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup minced poblano or Hungarian wax pepper (or any other mild chili pepper)
  • 1/2 cup minced red onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 pounds kale

Directions:

  1. Combine tomato, pepper, onion, garlic, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil; cover and let stand at room temperature at least 1 hour. (Or refrigerate overnight; bring to room temperature before serving.)
  2. Trim 1/4 inch off stem ends of kale leaves; use a sharp knife to cut leaves away from stems and thick center ribs. Rinse kale and shake off excess water. Cut into bite-size pieces.
  3. Add 1/2 cup water to a heavy large skillet or Dutch oven, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add kale; cover, reduce heat, and cook 20 minutes or until kale is tender, stirring occasionally.

To serve, spoon tomato relish over each serving of kale..
