Sauteed kale is wonderful as a side dish, or top it with a couple of fried or poached eggs for a quick, tasty lunch.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 8 ounces kale leaves
- ½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or ¼ teaspoon of any other salt, including Morton kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook it for 30 seconds. You want it golden but not burnt, so keep an eye on it.
- Add the kale in batches. Stir-fry until the kale is tender and slightly wilted, for about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Make sure to avoid overcooking the kale. You want it to have some "bite," just like al-dente pasta. You don't want it mushy and limp.
- The reason for adding the kale in batches is that, much like spinach, it has a lot of volume when raw, but when it's cooked and wilted, it loses a lot of its volume.
- Two great additions: when the dish is done, turn off the heat and sprinkle it with grated parmesan or bacon bits.
- You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat them covered in the microwave.
