Crunchy kale
I use Cookstr.com as one of my search engines for recipes. Having picked up a couple bunches of kale from Nunes Organic Farm at my hospital's market, I just searched for "kale" and came up with lots of choices.
Anything crunchy is fine with me so this one spoke to me. Kale, like other greens, wilts down a lot in volume when cooked so one bunch makes a pretty small side dish.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 bunch of kale, thick stems removed and leaves coarsely chopped after washing and drying
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Salt to taste
Directions
- Heat the oil in a BIG skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the garlic for a couple minutes then remove it before it gets too brown.
- Add the kale in big handsful, adding more as soon as it cooks down a little. Keep stirring and cooking and it will get nice and crunchy.
- Serve it hot.
