salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup sliced toasted almonds

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot or saute pan (that has a lid) over medium heat.
Stir in the onion and garlic and cook until onions are translucent, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the mustard, sugar, vinegar, and chicken stock and bring to a boil over high heat. Taste the sauce at this stage. If you like it sweeter, add more sugar. If you like it more sour, add more vinegar and or mustard.
Stir in the kale, cover and cook 5 minutes until wilted.

Recipe Notes

If you like your kale less wilted, reduce the sauce by half before you add the kale. Then add the kale and cover, stirring occasionally until kale has cooked to desired doneness. Recipe adapted from All Recipes Sweet and Savory Kale
