Equipment

  • Large nonstick skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 bunch curly kale ribs removed and leaves torn off
  • 1 ½ garlic cloves, minced
  • 5 ounces baby spinach
  • pinch of kosher salt
  • ½ lemon

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add two tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Add the kale leaves and stir until wilted. Don't worry if a few get deep brown. They get crisp and delicious that way.
  • Add the garlic, a large pinch of salt, and a grind of black pepper. Stir for another 30 seconds, then add the baby spinach.
  • Stir until the spinach is almost wilted. Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the pan. Stir one more time, remove from the heat, and serve warm!
