Place the kale leaves into a salad spinner and spin all of the water out of the kale. Dump the water and repeat one or two times more just to make sure that the kale is extra dizzy and dry. Use a towel to blot any extra water on the leaves. Place the kale on the baking sheet.
Drizzle olive oil over the kale leaves and use your hands to toss and coat the leaves. Bake in the oven for 12-20 minutes until leaves are crisp. Take a peek at the 12 minute mark - the timing all depends on how much olive oil you use. Just use a spatula or tongs to touch the leaves, if they are paper-thin crackly, the kale is done. If the leaves are still a bit soft, leave them in for another 2 minutes. Do not let the leaves turn brown (they'll be burnt and bitter) Remove from oven, sprinkle with salt and serve.

In a food processor blend the flour, the salt, the Cheddar and the butter until the mixture resembles meal. With the motor running add 5 tablespoons of the water and blend the mixture, adding more water if necessary, until it just forms a dough. Do not overblend the dough. Transfer the dough to a sheet of wax paper and halve it.
In the food processor grind fine the pepperoni with the cayenne, add half the dough reserving the other half, chilled, and blend the mixture until the pepperoni is just distributed throughout the dough.

Prepare the pickling jar: Divide the green beans equally between 2, 1-quart canning jars. Add 2 sliced cloves of garlic, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper and 1 tablespoon of other herbs (if using) to each jar.
Prepare and add the brine: In a medium saucepan bring the water, vinegars, salt and sugar to a boil. Once boiling, pour into the jars until the liquid completely submerges the green beans. Close the lids tightly on the jars.
Pickling instruction: Let the jars cool on the counter until they reach room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least three hours before serving. For best results, refrigerate for at least 24 hours. Beans can be kept refrigerated for up to one month.
