Recipe: Tomatoes and Kale with Italian Seasonings

TOMATOES AND KALE

6 leaves curly kale
1 (16 oz.) can ready-cut tomatoes in juice
Italian-style seasonings, to taste (1/2 tsp mixed oregano, basil, and rosemary is a good place to start)

Cut or tear kale into bite-sized pieces. Place in a colander and rinse under running water. Don't drain too thoroughly, as you want a fair bit of water to remain on the leaves. Place the washed kale into a non-stick frying pan on medium heat. Stir as the leaves wilt.

When the leaves are wilted but not completely tender (they should be a brilliant green at this point), add the ready-cut tomatoes, reserving the juice. Sprinkle the spices over the pan and continue to stir for a few moments, until the tomatoes are heated through.

Add reserved tomato juice to taste; adding a lot will make a soup-like dish, while adding a little will make more of a traditional side dish.
