Wash and cut a ton of kale into bite-sized pieces.

In a large deep skillet, add about 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil and the garlic while the oil is still cold to infuse the flavor.

Heat the skillet over medium heat until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden.

Add all the kale to the skillet and cover with a lid to let it wilt down for about 2 minutes.

Once wilted, add vegetable stock and dried sweetened cranberries to the skillet.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then cover and cook for about 10-12 minutes until the kale is tender but still has some texture.

Add balsamic vinegar to the skillet and cook for just a second to combine.

Turn off the heat and transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
