Recipe #286: Panfried Kale

I'm going to make this.  A LOT.  I finally "get" the kale obsession.  This stuff is so simple to make with simple ingredients, and even after a little wilting, still maintains a little crunch.  Plus it's super good for you!  Delicious!!!  This is from thepioneerwoman.com.

Ingredients

• 1 whole Large Bunch Of Kale, Or 2 Regular Bunches
• 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
• 5 cloves Garlic, Finely Minced
•  Salt And Pepper, to taste
• 1/2 Lemon, Optional

Directions

Thoroughly rinse the kale in cold water, soaking if necessary to remove grit. Tear the kale into chunks.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and quickly stir it around to avoid burning.

Throw in the kale and use tongs to move it around the skillet. Sprinkle in salt and pepper and continue cooking until slightly wilted but still crisp, about 1 to 2 minutes.

Remove the kale to a plate and serve!

Option: Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the top.
