Slice each leek in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 1/4 inch
thick half moons (about 2 cups) Place in large bowl of cold water
and swish to remove any grit. Drain and pat dry. Remove the stems
from the kale. Stack the leaves on top of each other and slice them
crosswise into 1/2 inch thick wide strips, you'll need three cups.
