Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionStrip away and discard the stems of the kale.
Tear the leaves into large bite-size pieces and toss them with the olive oil and a good pinch of 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.
Serve immediately.
