Baked Curly Kale With Potatoes, Olives And Garlic

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Wash kale in plenty of water, lifting out gently so debris sinks. Drain. Strip out heaviests stems; don't bother to remove smaller ones. Bunch or possibly stack kale and cut into 1-inch slices. Scrub potatoes. Halve, then cut into 1-inch slices. Halve and pit olives.
2. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in large casserole. Add in garlic and stir over low heat till lightly colored. Add in potatoes and toss. Add in kale, olives, water, and vermouth. Bring to a boil.
3. Cover tightly, set in oven, and bake till potatoes are just barely tender, about 40 min, shaking or possibly stirring occasionally.
4. Add in extra virgin olive oil to taste. Serve warm or possibly at room temperature (my preference), with pepper and lemon.
5. Makes 4 Servings.
