Dice Onion & Garlic. Remove the stems from the kale. Stack the leaves on top of one another and slice them crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the Garlic, Onions and Bacon cook for 3 minutes, I didn't use bacon in this recipe, but it does add lots of flavor. Add the can of whole tomatoes and cook, breaking them up with a spoon, for 5 minutes.
