Sautéed Kale

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 bunch kale (lacinato or curly kale)

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 garlic cloves (chopped)

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Lemon wedge (for squeezing)

Directions

Remove and discard the coarse parts of the kale stems. Chop or tear the leaves.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the kale leaves, garlic, pinches of salt, and several grinds of pepper. Sauté for 2 to 4 minutes, tossing (I like to use tongs for this), until the kale has wilted down.

Turn off the heat, squeeze a little lemon juice over the kale, and toss. Season to taste and serve.
