Kale with Garbanzo beans

Curly Kale is so beautiful to look at. I, like most others have often shied away from this vegetable in the supermarket. However after incorporating the kale in soup and in this dish, and given the fact that this is packed with nutrition, we have grown to like this vegetable. Kale is much denser than spinach and is perfect to make this medley with garbanzo beans. Plus garbanzo beans is so forgiving that it requires enormous talent to screw up a dish with it.
