6 tablespoons walnut oil or 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus
1 teaspoon walnut oil or 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 medium grapefruits ( to make 1/2 cup fresh juice)
2 teaspoons grapefruit peel, finely grated
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 large garlic cloves, chopped ( divided)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 bunch kale (abuot 10 oz.) or 1 bunch collard greens, washed, cut into ribbons ( abuot 10 oz.)
1/3 cup dried figs, thinly sliced

Warm 6 tbls. oil and dried rosemary in a small pan on low heat until rosemary just begins to drift. Don’t boil. Remove from heat.
In a blender or food processor, combine syrup, grapefruit juice and peel, lemon juice, 1 chopped garlic clove, salt and pepper; pulse for about 30 seconds. Run on high continuously while slowly adding oil-rosemary mixture. Continue blending for 1 minute. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate in a tightly covered jar if not using right away.
Heat the remaining 1 teaspoons oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the remaining chopped garlic and saute until tender. Add kale or collard greens and braise slightly, about 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add 1/2 cup vinaigrette to the greens and saute on mediumlow heat until the vinaigrette is warmed and greens are nearly tender, about 4 minutes. Add the sliced figs and saute 1 minute more. Enjoy!
