Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Kale

    Wash the kale thoroughly under cold water and remove the stems. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

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

  4. 4

    Cook the Kale

    Add the torn kale leaves to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kale is wilted and tender.

  5. 5

    Add Lemon

    Zest the lemon and then squeeze the juice over the sautéed kale. Toss to combine and cook for an additional minute.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish.
