- 1 bag (16 oz.) Kale
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic

- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 4 tablespoons melted butter, divided

Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In large skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil. Cook onions and garlic 3 to 5 minutes, until softened. Add kale; continue cooking 5 to 7 minutes, until wilted. Transfer to towel-lined plate; allow to cool. Squeeze kale to remove excess liquid.
