1
Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the Italian sausage. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
2
Sauté the Aromatics
In the same skillet, add olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
3
Add the Greens
Stir in the chopped kale or Swiss chard, and red pepper flakes. Cook until the greens are wilted and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Combine Ingredients
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet with the greens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
5
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the dish. Toss to combine and serve immediately.
