Sautéed Kale with Chiles and Lemon

Pretty much every restaurant in LA serves a version of this in the winter months and rather than go out every night when I crave it, I just make it at home.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic thinly sliced, cloves
  • 2 Fresno chile pepper seeded and thinly sliced, halved
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper

  • black pepper Kosher salt and freshly cracked, to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the garlic, chile and crushed pepper and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add in the kale and let wilt for a minute or so before adding more. Cook, tossing frequently, until the kale is tender, about 3 to 5 minutes total. Remove from heat.
  3. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a platter and serve.

Notes

  • Serve it up alongside any main course like chicken, steak or even pasta! It’s perfect. And if you have leftovers, throw it over some quinoa or rice and put a poached egg on top for a really simple breakfast or lunch!
