Wilted Kale with Aged Cheddar and Spiced Nuts

I started out with the idea that I'd just do kale and onion, but then the tomatos needed to be used; and the cheese and nuts were after thoughts. The spiced nuts were something I made over the holidays - pecans, cashews, almonds, pine nuts and pumpkin seeds with cumin, curry, cinnamon, worst. sauce. This meal tasted pretty good!

Saute:
2 tsp      olive oil

1/4 cup  onion, diced
1 tsp      garlic, diced

Add and continue saute:
8 cherry tomato, red, quartered

Add, wilt to desire:
1 cup     kale, cut into tiny pieces
2 tsp      vinegar, balsamic
1 fl oz    white wine
Serve with:
1/2 oz   cheddar cheese, vermont style sharp-white, sliced thin and broken up into pieces
1/2 oz   spiced nuts

Rated a 4.57 on the Kale Scale.
