Kale No-Cream Gratin

We like this yummy side dish with chicken.

1/2 c. whole wheat (or sourdough) bread crumbs

1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese

Olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced or pressed

4 c. rough-chopped kale leaves

Salt

Preheat oven to 375.

Stir together the bread crumbs, cheese and 2 tsp. olive oil. Set aside.

Saute the garlic in 1-2 Tbsp. olive oil for 1-2 minutes, then add the kale leaves and sprinkle with salt. Stir until the kale wilts and is coated with oil. Add 2-3 Tbsp. water, cover and steam until tender (about 6-8 minutes).

Transfer to a greased baking dish and sprinkle with bread crumb mixture.

Bake until the bread crumbs are nicely browned, about 10-12 minutes.
