How to Flash-Cook Kale With Lemon Juice

Wash and destem the Dino kale, cutting the stems into finely chopped pieces.

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, swirling it around.

Add the chopped kale stems to the pan and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes until they soften and brown slightly.

Add the kale leaves to the pan, mixing them with the stems and cooking for a few more minutes until the kale begins to wilt and may get slightly brown.

Remove the pan from heat and let the sautéed kale cool slightly.

Add 1/2 cup of lemon juice to the kale, along with salt and black pepper to taste.

Stir the kale to distribute the lemon juice and seasonings evenly.

Plate the kale and drizzle some extra lemon juice on top if desired.
