Ingredients you will need

Olive Oil

Kale

Salt

Cook the leaves briefly over a medium fire seasoned with chunks of maple or oak. They will begin to burn and sizzle almost immediately. This is a good thing. Resist the temptation to turn them; the burn is good; the burn is your friend. After 4 to 5 minutes, turn them once to give a slight char to the wilted leaves that have been on top. Cook for another minute or two, and then remove them from the grill. That's it.

Ingredients you will need

Maple Syrup

Equipment you will use

Grill

Serve immediately.
