Time 20m

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
Pinch red pepper flakes
1 large bunch kale (7 to 8 cups chopped leaves)
1/2 cup stock, white wine or water, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt or more to taste
Half of a lemon

Steps:

  • Rinse the kale, and then pull the leaves from the stems. Discard the stems or save to add to homemade stock another day. Coarsely chop kale leaves into randomly shaped pieces, about 2 inches large.
  • Heat the olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is soft, but before it browns.
  • Add the chopped kale leaves, stock, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Cook, tossing the kale around the pan occasionally, until the kale turns bright green, is soft and is wilted, about 7 to 8 minutes. If before the kale is tender, the liquid evaporates, add a little bit more to the pan.
  • Taste and adjust with additional salt, and then finish by stirring in the juice from half a lemon.

YUMMY SAUTEED KALE

No need for mounds of butter to take this nutrition-packed vegetable from bitter to melt-in-your-mouth goodness.

Provided by Trainer Jo

Categories     Vegetable

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion
1 lb kale
2 garlic cloves, diced
2 cups broth, low sodium chicken or vegetable
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large saute pan that has a lid.
  • Dice up onion and saute in olive oil until onion is translucent. Add garlic and saute until garlic becomes pale golden in color.
  • Wash the kale thoroughly, and add it a handful at a time to the pan. Stir until it begins to wilt and all of it can fit in your pan.
  • Add about a half cup of broth or water, turn the heat down to low-medium and cover the pan.
  • Season with a pinch of sea salt and ground pepper. Do not leave the pan unattended for too long--set a timer if need be. The goal is to let the kale simmer in a small amount of liquid for ~30 minutes. This will require frequent stirring and the addition of small amounts of liquid to keep the kale from sticking to the pan. The longer you cook it and the more liquid you add, the more tender and delicious the dish will be--however you will lose nutritional value if you cook it too long. Taste it every now and then--when you are happy with it, take it off the heat and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right kale: Look for kale that is dark green and has no signs of wilting or yellowing. Curly kale and lacinato kale (also known as dinosaur kale) are good choices for sautéing.
  • Wash the kale thoroughly: Kale can be gritty, so it's important to wash it well before cooking. Rinse the kale under cold water and remove any tough stems.
  • Cut the kale into bite-sized pieces: This will help it cook evenly and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give the kale plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the kale will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Cook the kale over medium-high heat: This will help it cook quickly and evenly.
  • Stir the kale frequently: This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Season the kale to taste: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good options.
  • Serve the kale immediately: Sautéed kale is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Sautéed kale is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a larger meal. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals, and it's also a good source of fiber. With its slightly bitter flavor and tender texture, sautéed kale is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
