Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Kale

    Wash the kale thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or grit. Remove the thick stems from the leaves and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Set Up Steamer

    Fill a pot with 1 cup of water and bring it to a boil. Place a steamer basket over the pot, ensuring it does not touch the water.

  3. 3

    Steam the Kale

    Add the prepared kale to the steamer basket. Cover the pot and steam the kale for about 5-7 minutes, or until the leaves are tender but still vibrant green.

  4. 4

    Season and Serve

    Once steamed, transfer the kale to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt to taste. Toss gently to combine and serve warm.
