Notes
Kale types: Any type of kale works for this recipe. Curly kale is the most widely available and works great. If you want a more colorful dish, use Redbor (or Red) kale which has a reddish / maroon color.
Vinegar substitute: If you want a less acidic dish, try using white wine instead of vinegar. This will have less of a bite and a more pronounced anchovy flavor.
