• Position an oven rack about 5 inches from the broiling element, and preheat the broiler.

Stir for a minute, then add the tomatoes, 2 tablespoons water, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover partially, and let simmer vigorously, stirring occasionally, until reduced and thick, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Generously grease a shallow 9x13-inch casserole dish or similar 3-quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• Prepare the filling in two batches: Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.

The squash will still be too firm to eat.
• Next, add half of the kale, half of the onions, and half of the garlic. Cook until the kale and onions begin to soften, about 4 minutes.
• Add the 1/2 cup of the chicken stock, stir, and let cook 1 minute so that the stock reduces slightly.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and with a spoon, prod it into a relatively even layer.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon olive oil in the skillet, then repeat the above steps with the remaining half of each of the ingredients. Transfer the rest of the filling to the casserole dish.
