Balsamic Kale with Garlic and Onions

I know this is surprising for my family, but the star of this dish isn't the roast, but the kale.  Since reading all the New Year's articles on resolutions, healthy living, and "super foods," Mom and I had been curious about kale.  We finally manned up and invested the necessary $0.98 to try some.  It was a good investment.  We've been eating it like crazy women ever since.

Ingredients:

1 to 1-1/2 pounds of kale, washed, ribs removed, and coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup water
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoon onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2-3 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt

Heat olive oil over medium heat.  Add onions, garlic, and red pepper and cook until onions are translucent.  Add kale and cook, tossing until bright green (about 1 minute).  Add water and reduce heat to medium-low.  Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until kale is tender, or 12-15 minutes.  Stir in vinegar to taste.  Salt and serve.
