Serves 4

Ingredients


  • 2 cups canned chickpeas, drained
  • 1 large bunch curly kale
  • 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries or dried currants
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • Steamed brown rice, for serving

    Directions


    Prepare the kale: Remove the stems and tough center ribs from each leaf of kale. Tear the large leaves into smaller pieces. Wash and dry the leaves.

    Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the oil and garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add chickpeas and cook for 5 minutes, or until the chickpeas begin to brown. Add the kale and sauté for 3 minutes more, or until the leaves turn deep green and wilt. Add a little water if the pan seems dry.

    Add the cranberries and salt. Toss in the pan to combine. Serve warm, over brown rice.
