Stir in the kale ribbons, and then add salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the kale is soft, about 2 minutes. Using the back of a large spoon, make 4 depressions in the sauce and crack an egg into each depression. Cover the skillet and poach the eggs until the whites are set and the yolks are runny, about 4 minutes. Cook a little longer if you like your eggs more set, 5โ7 minutes. Sprinkle the minced cilantro and parsley over the top. Serve immediately.
