Re: how do you prepare Kale?
Creamed Kale with Caramelized Shallots
Ingredients
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons finely chopped Spanish onion
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups milk, scalded
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 pounds kale, center stalk removed, and coarsely torn into pieces
Caramelized Shallots, recipe follows
Directions
Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, not allowing the mixture to obtain any color. Whisk in the warm milk and cook until thickened. Season with nutmeg and salt and pepper, to taste. Keep warm until ready to use.
Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the kale and cook until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain in a colander and then return to pot. Add cream sauce and cook until flavors meld, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Plate creamed kale and then top with Caramelized Shallots.
Caramelized Shallots:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons sugar
10 shallots, peeled and sliced, or 40 baby onions, peeled
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Melt the butter and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots, season with salt and pepper, and cook until they begin to brown all over, about 10 minutes.

Nope. I remove the tough bottoms and cut it into large pieces. I throw it in a heated wok or deep pan. toss with olive oil and then add garlic. You will see it start to wilt. Add Salt & Pepper and then give a few tosses. Once it gets to the consistency I like, I turn off the heat and add a little lemon. It's simple AND delicious.

I do it similarly to this, but splash with balsamic vinegar and soy sauce before turning off the heat.
