  • In a large pan heat a drizzle of oil over medium high heat. Add the rest of the garlic and cook for about 20-30 sec. Stir in kale, and 1/4 water plus the rest of the veggie stock concentrate. Cook stirring until liquid is gone and kale is wilted approximately 5-7 minutes. Stir in 1 tbsp butter and salt and pepper to taste.
