Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Prepare Kale

    Thoroughly wash the kale under cold water to remove any dirt or sand. Remove the tough stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Chop Garlic

    Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.

  3. 3

    Halve Cherry Tomatoes

    Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  2. 5

    Add Kale

    Add the prepared kale to the skillet. Stir well to coat the kale in the garlic and olive oil. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the kale is wilted.

  3. 6

    Add Tomatoes and Season

    Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes are slightly softened.
