Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 12 cups chopped kale
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon vegetable bouillon base (such as Better Than Bouillon(R) Vegetable Base), or more to taste
  • 1 splash soy sauce, or more to taste
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper, or more to taste

Method

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; saute garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add kale to garlic, working in batches if needed; cook and stir until beginning to wilt, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir water and vegetable base together in a small bowl until dissolved; pour over kale. Cook mixture until liquid is reduced, 1 to 2 minutes. Mix soy sauce and black pepper into kale.
