Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1-2 bunches of kale (I prefer organic, locally grown)
- olive oil
- lemon juice
- garlic
- toasted pine nuts
Directions:
Clean kale, remove stems, and tear into
bite sized pieces.
Place a vegetable steamer over a pot of
boiling water, and place the kale into
the steamer. Steam until the kale is
tender, usually about 2-5 minutes.
Remove kale from heat, put into a
large bowl, and set aside.
Heat up a dry skillet and place pine
nuts into the skillet for one minute.
Be careful not to burn the pine nuts.
In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, fresh
garlic, kosher or sea salt (ground), and lemon juice.
Toss the olive oil mixture onto the
kale, and top with pine nuts.
This is excellent served as a side dish
with soup, or by itself!
I don't use exact measurements, so feel
free to experiment.
I prefer to buy organic kale, grown by
my local co-op. It tastes better, and
the money I spend is going back to the
people who grew it.
Serves: 2-4
Preparation time: 10 minutes
