Stack the leaves, roll them in half, and shred them into ribbons.

Saute the chopped stems in olive oil over medium heat for about 2 minutes.

Add chopped garlic to the stems and sauté for an additional 30 seconds.

Add the shredded leaves to the skillet and stir to combine.

Continue to sauté for 3-4 minutes until the leaves are wilted.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Add fresh lemon zest and drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
