Ingredients

  • 2 bunches of kale ripped, washed, and dried
  • 4-5 garlic cloves sliced thin or minced
  • 1/4- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Heat oil in large saute pan on medium. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant.
  • Turn heat up to medium high and add kale, mixing it with tongs to coat it with olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
  • Saute until kale wilts and turns a deep green, approximately 7 minutes. Season with salt, give another good mix, and serve.

Notes

This recipe is for 2 bunches of kale but you can definitely halve it for just one bunch.  We just like a lot o' kale. 
Add more garlic for a super duper garlic dish. 
Adjust the crushed red pepper to your taste - 1/4 teaspoon gives a little hint, 1/2 a bigger kick in the dish. 
Watch that garlic so that it doesn't burn.
