Kale is a chefs' favorite for simple leafy green sautés. The dark bluish-green, finely curled leaves are a visual treat while the mild, slightly peppery flavor blends with garlic, water chestnuts and mushrooms for this delightful dish. Also try chard, beet greens, mustard greens, spinach or a mixture of several varieties.
