Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 bunch kale stem trimmed, rinsed, chopped into bite size pieces
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • red onion slices for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large pan heat olive oil over medium heat add garlic and cook one minute.
  • Add kale to pan and remaining ingredients and cook for 5-8 minutes or until kale slightly wilts, stir occasionally. (Note: Kale can be bitter, but sauteing helps cut down on the bitterness. Do taste tests every minute or so and once the bitterness isn't so strong it is done.) Transfer to platter, top with red onions and serve.

Notes

Enjoy!
