1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce:

Wash and dry the kale. Separate the leaves from the stems; discard the stems, then thinly slice the leaves. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. In a bowl, whisk together the tomato chutney, tomato paste, curry powder, half the vinegar, and 1/2 cup of warm water until thoroughly combined. Season with salt and pepper.

In a small pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 1 cup of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 12 to 14 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork.

While the rice cooks, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chopped garlic.

Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly wilted.
