Fantastic!!!! I love Kale and this is another great way to add it to the rotation!! I added some navy beans while the Kale was cooking down to make it a main meal. Thank you!!

We like this one a lot! I don't change a thing and it turns out great. Easy to make.

I don't think I let the kale wilt long enough as it was kind of chewy, but we liked the Italian flavor.

Pretty good. I don't love kale, but I eat it for its nutritional value, and this recipe made it palatable. Go easy on the balsamic vinegar. Also, the kale cooked much more quickly for me than the recipe indicated, so watch it closely so it doesn't burn.

I made this recipe as listed and it was very good. Next time, I plan to cut the amount of balsamic vinegar in half. There was too much and it overpowered the taste of the vegetable.

I tried sauteeing this in the pan, but it turned crispy instead of wilting. Next time I will steam first. The flavor was ok, but the crispy texture was awful. I couldn't even eat it.

I loved this, although i did it a bit differently. I doubled the recipe, then ran out of balsamic vinegar after one tablespoon. So i did one of dijon mustard, one of regular vinegar and 2/3 of a tablespoon of sugar. It was awesome, especially for my first time cooking kale.

If I make this again, I will reduce the amount of vinegar in it and/or change the type of vinegar used. Red wine would probably be better; balsamic is too strong in this quantity.

This was a super recipe! If you are a novice at cooking kale, like I was a while ago, you need to strip the leaves off the stems and also chop the leaves a bit before cooking. You should add a small amount of water when cooking the kale and watch carefully so it doesn't boil away and burn. This recipe is very easy and has a really nice flavor. Thank you so much!

Whoa!!! This is excellent!!! And, can you say HEALTHY??? Superb recipe. Only change I made was to use 4 cloves of garlic (what can I say - I'm a garlic freak.) I've also used a similar method with swiss chard and spinach, but never tried it with balsamic vinegar. That adds a real tasty touch! Note that the recipe says to cook the kale until half of the volume is reduced. Don't over cook it - it's healthier that way!! You don't want it to end up like a wet rag. There should still be a hint of crispness to the leaves. Also, toss the kale a few times and it won't burn. The water on the leaves from washing should be enough. Simple, tasty and good for you!!!

I'm sure it would have been much tastier if I didn't burn it. Smelled lovely in the pot. I think it just needed some more water... make sure you keep enough water while steaming the kale!

Not bad... very strong balsamic taste. I'd probably make it again.

Our neighbor gave us a bunch of fresh kale from her garden. I didn't know how to prepare it, so gave this recipe a try. I've made spinach this way, and the kale tasted just as good with the EVOO, garlic, & balsamic. Felt like we were doing something very healthy for ourselves with dinner tonight! Thanks, Dwieberg.

I love kale and am even growing my own this summer. I followed this recipe exactly and used fresh kale from my garden. However, I was very disappointed with this recipe. I do apologize for such a negative review. I will not be making this recipe again.

In the past, I steamed my kale (chard, spinach, etc.), then transfered it to a frying pan with garlic butter, and then dressed it on the plate with balsamic vinaigrette . . . so imagine how happy I was to see this simplified version of a side-dish I enjoy so much (albeit sheepish about not having figured out the "one pan" method for myself. Seems so obvious now!) Anyway, this tastes wonderful: fresh greens are so easy and good for you!
