Kale Crostini

Directions

1. 1
   bring a pot of water to a boil. add a small handful of salt to the boiling water and then add the washed kale after having removed the tough stem. remove the kale from the boiling water after 3-4 minutes.
2. 2
   drain the kale and when cool enough to hand remove as much water from the kale by squeezing it out by hand.
3. 3
   chop the kale into small pieces.
4. 4
   add two tablespoons olive oil in a pan and add the chopped kale, sautee for 5-7 minutes while mixing with a wooden spoon to cover the kale with the oil. add 1 teaspoon salt.
5. 5
   toast 12 pieces of a sliced loaf of bread in the oven at 375 degrees for 7-10 minutes or until you see the edges turn golden.
6. 6
   remove bread from oven and rub each piece of bread while still warm with a garlic clove. use more or less garlic depending on taste (a little goes a long way!) the garlic step can be skipped if you are not a fan.
7. 7
   add the chopped kale on the toasted bread and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. serve.
