Steaming Kale on the Stove: Place the chopped kale in a steamer basket. Bring 1-2 inches of water to a boil in a large pot then carefully place the steamer basket into the pot. Cover and cook for 5-10 minutes, until kale is just wilted. If you don't have a steamer basket, put the kale in a microwave-safe bowl with about 1 teaspoon of water (the water in the kale itself will be enough to do most of the steaming). Cover the bowl with a paper towel or microwave-safe plastic wrap.
In a large saucepan bring a small amount of water (about 2 cups) and a little salt (1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon) to boiling. Add 12 ounces torn kale. Return to boiling. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender.
