Active Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4
Serving Size: about 3/4 cup each

1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1 1/2 lb kale, ribs removed, coarsely chopped (see Tip)
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth, or vegetable broth
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp garam masala, (see Ingredient note)
1/4 tsp salt
1 (15 oz can) chickpeas, rinsed

Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring,
until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add kale and cook, tossing with two
large spoons, until bright green, about 1 minute. Add broth, coriander,
cumin, garam masala and salt. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until
the kale is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in chickpeas; cover and cook
until the chickpeas are heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.

Tip: A 1 to 1 1/2-pound bunch of kale yields 16 to 24 cups of chopped
leaves. When preparing kale for these recipes, remove the tough ribs,
chop or tear the kale as directed, then wash it--allowing some water
to cling to the leaves. The moisture helps steam the kale during the
first stages of cooking.

Ingredient Note: Garam masala, a ground spice mixture traditionally
including coriander, cumin, cinnamon, peppercorns, cardamom and cloves,
is commonly used in Indian cooking. Find it in the specialty-spice section
of large supermarkets.
