Tamari-Garlic Kale

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound kale leaves, heavy veins removed and leaves cut across into 1/2-inch strips (6-7 cups packed)
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Heat the oil in a large deep pot. Add the kale. Toss and cook over medium heat until it has wilted and the volume has shrunk by one-quarter. Add the garlic. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes and adding a little water if necessary to prevent the kale from browning. Stir in the soy. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Serves 3.
