Sautéed Kale

kale (lacinato

olive oil

garlic

Lemon wedge

Sea salt and black pepper

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

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the kale, 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.

This vibrant sauteed kale with garlic, olive oil, tomatoes and lemon is not only loaded with nutrients, but packed with delicious flavor!

Sauteed Kale

Olive oil

cherry tomatoes, halved

Salt

Black pepper

red pepper flakes (optional)

garlic, garlic

lemon zest

lemon juice

cheese

Begin by gathering and prepping all of your ingredients according to the ingredient list above to have ready and organized for use.

Place a large, deep pan or a pot over medium-high heat, and drizzle about 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, add in the cherry tomatoes along with a pinch of red pepper flakes (if using), and some salt and pepper.

Allow the tomatoes to sizzle and gently soften in the oil for about 30 to 45 seconds, then using a slotted spoon, scoop the tomatoes out and set aside.

Next, drizzle into the pan or pot about another 2 to 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, and add the kale (if your pan is not deep enough to accommodate it all, work in a couple of batches). Using tongs, toss the kale lightly in the oil for a moment or two to coat it, then add in the garlic, the lemon zest and a couple of good pinches of salt and pepper.

Add the lemon juice then toss to combine, and allow the kale to saute for about a minute or two more just until barely wilted and crisp-tender, and still a vibrant green. Turn off the heat under the pan or pot.

Add half of the tomatoes into the kale, and toss to combine. Check to see if additional salt and pepper is needed.

Spoon the sauteed kale into a serving bowl, top with the remainder of the tomatoes, and serve hot with a bit of freshly grated parmesan over top, if desired.
