1
Prepare the Kale
Wash the kale thoroughly under running water. Remove the tough stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
3
Sauté Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
4
Add Kale and Chili Flakes
Add the torn kale leaves and red chili flakes to the skillet. Toss well to coat the kale with the oil and garlic.
5
Sauté the Kale
Cook the kale for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted and tender. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
6
Finish with Lemon
Remove the skillet from heat and squeeze the juice of one lemon over the sautéed kale. Toss to combine.
7
Serve
Transfer the sautéed kale to a serving dish and enjoy warm.
