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.

- 1 lemon juiced (about 2-3 tablespoons)
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.
- 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.

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!
