In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat and cook the onion until it's soft. Add the garlic and pepper flakes, and stir one minute longer, until aromatic. Stir in the kale and cook until it's wilted, three to four minutes. Gently stir in the pine nuts and currants, and continue cooking for about two minutes.
