DIRECTIONS
Heat the olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and kale. Cook and stir until the onions become transparent and the kale wilts and reduces in volume, 5 to 7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium. Stir the tomatoes and green chiles, garlic, water, bay leaves, cumin, and onion powder into the kale mixture. Simmer the vegetable mixture until the kale is soft, about 1 hour. Stir in the cannellini beans and continue simmering until beans are heated through, about 10 minutes. Stir in the oregano and basil. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Ok, so I didn't have most of the ingredients, but still the dish came out pretty good. I used canola oil instead of olive, garbanzo beans and garlic powder since I didn't have any cloves. I also had to use a metal pot instead of a deep pan. This is the kind of dish that you can experiment with different kinds of spices and vegetables, as long as you get the water and oil proportions right. I guess my only complaint is that it took an hour to cook, but the time is worth it in the end.

Good recipe, Not fantastic. I love kale and make it quite often. This is towards the bottom of my list of things to make again. Sorry.

Yum yum is all I have to say!! I just added more garlic and a little wine as suggested. I will be making this again!! Didn't use onion powder or basil and used T of dry oregano. Also used chicken broth instead of water.

On it's own very good. I thought the juices were a little weak so added 3 T. of sun dried tomato paste. Also added 1 lb. of (venison) Italian sausage sliced 1/2". Served this on top of angel hair pasta and it was a very satisfying and healthy dinner. Will definitely make again!!!

I was hoping the beans would give it enough substance to please a certain someone, but I ended up having to add some diced ham to entice him to eat it. I would enjoy this as is, and will probably make for myself again - reheats nicely for lunch.

This was really tasty, and much more hearty than you'd expect. I'll certainly make this again.

I really enjoyed this! I used up a bunch of kale that had been sitting in my fridge for over a week and it was still very tasty. Because I like things with a little kick I added red pepper flakes on top and it was great. I think it needs a little something to deepen the flavor a little. Next time I make this I think I'll add a splash of red wine to the onions and kale and let it simmer down and add some fresh grated parm/romano on top at the end. If you *must* have meat this would probably be good with some sliced Italian sausage.

This is delicious! I made it for dinner tonight, and it was really really good. I made a few changes: I used frozen kale, defrosted it in water and then put it in. I also used less Kale then what is called for. I used one and a half cans of beans, and I washed them before I put them in. I sauteed mushrooms with the onions. I also put some Franks Hot Sauce in it, it gave it a nice tangy flavor. When I put it in my bowl, I topped it with parmesan cheese and ate it with crusty sourdough bread. Wonderful!
