Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the crushed red pepper flakes, if using, and let them sizzle briefly in the oil.
Stir in the sliced garlic and cook until softened but not browned.
Increase the heat to high, then add the vegetable stock and kale. Toss to combine.
Cover and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the kale to steam and soften.
Remove the cover and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the kale remains bright green.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
Serve warm and enjoy!
