Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
 
  • 5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
 
  • One 28-ounce can whole peeled Italian tomatoes, crushed by hand
 
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds
 
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
 
  • Kosher salt
 
  • One 8-ounce bunch of Tuscan kale, stemmed and chopped
 
  • Two 15-ounce cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
 
  • Torn basil and marjoram leaves, 
for garnish
 
  • Finely grated Pecorino Romano, 
for serving

How to Make It
Step 1    

In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until very fragrant 
but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, fennel seeds, crushed red pepper and a generous pinch of salt. Cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and 
the sauce is thickened, about 25 minutes.
Step 2    

Stir the kale into the sauce and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Stir in the chickpeas and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt. Spoon into bowls and garnish with torn basil 
and marjoram leaves. Top with finely grated pecorino and serve hot.
