Wash kale well and trim tough stems. Pile several leaves together and slice into ribbons about 1 inch wide.
Heat a large, dry skillet and toast chopped nuts for 3 to 5 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently. Set aside to cool.
Heat oil in the same skillet and sauté garlic for 1 minute until soft-do not brown. Add kale ribbons and ¼ cup water and cover. Cook over medium heat until soft-10 to 15 minutes-adding more water if necessary.
