May: Garlic Kale
Serves 4
This delightful and simple kale recipe is bursting with garlic flavor. It's a delicious side dish with minimal preparation, so you can easily add it to any meal — even on a busy weeknight. Any kind of kale (including curly green kale, purple kale, or lacinato kale) works well.
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 bunch kale, washed and cut or torn into bite-sized pieces
sea salt to taste
1/4 cup water
Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook briefly (about 1 minute). Add the kale and stir briefly until the kale is coated in oil and garlic. Sprinkle with sea salt. Add the water, stepping back from the pan to avoid splattering oil. Cover the pan and cook until the kale is tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Serve immediately.
