Conversion Chart: Here >>

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon oil
½ cup ½-inch-diced onion
½ cup ½-inch-diced red pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound kale
1 apple ½-inch dice
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 cup apple cider
2 cups water
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Procedure:
Separate the greens from the stems of the kale by tearing the length of the leaf along the center stem. Finely chop the stems and set them aside separate from the greens, which should be roughly chopped.

Place the oil in a large saucepan with a lid over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, red pepper, and kosher salt. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the chopped kale stems and apple. Cook for 1 minute while stirring. Toss in the kale leaves along with the cider and water. Steam for 1 minute. Once the kale is slightly wilted, add the honey and red wine vinegar. Cover and steam for 10 minutes on low, checking to make sure that the pan does not dry out. Add a couple of tablespoons of water to keep moist. Steam until the leaves are soft. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if necessary
