Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Chop Kale

    Rinse the kale thoroughly under cold water. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare Other Vegetables

    Dice the red bell pepper and yellow onion, and mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Season the Mixture

    Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine the spices with the vegetables.

  4. 6

    Add Kale and Broth

    Add the chopped kale to the skillet, followed by the vegetable broth. Stir until the kale wilts and reduces in volume, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 7

    Simmer

    Reduce heat to low and cover the skillet. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve Hot

    Remove the lid and stir the kale mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot as a side dish or over rice for a main dish.
