Sauteed Kale
- 2 bunches kale (2 1/2 pounds)
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Rinse kale well in a large bowl of cold
water. Drain and cut off the tough stems. Cut leaves into 1/4-inch
strips. There will be 6 to 8 tightly packed cups.
- In a well-seasoned wok or large frying
pan, heat the olive oil over moderately high heat. Add the garlic
and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add half of the greens and cook
stirring, for about 1 minute, until they begin to wilt. Add the
remaining greens and cook, stirring constantly, for 8 to 10 minutes,
until the greens darken slightly and are fairly tender.
- Season with the salt, pepper, and lemon
juice.
