2-3 Servings
15 Minutes
Ingredients:
1 large bunch of kale
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Fine grain sea salt
5 cloves of garlic, crushed and chopped
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
Crushed red pepper flakes to taste
Method:
Remove the stems from the leaves of the kale and tear into bite-sized pieces. Wash the greens thoroughly, drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the greens and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously until the color gets bright green, and they start to wilt, about 2-4 minutes. Next, stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the Parmesan, and add a big pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Taste, add a bit of salt if needed, and serve immediately.
