    On the stovetop: In a saucepan, combine your chosen grain with the water, 1 tablespoon the olive oil, and 1 pinch of the salt and bring to a soft boil.

    While the grains and sweet potatoes are cooking: In a medium sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the kale and sauté until soft, 3 to 4 minutes.
