Garlicky Braised Kale


Thoughts and Inspiration

This is a great vegetable dish that can be had as a side to a main meal.  You can also use it to make stuffed mushrooms or zucchini boats (just mix in your favorite cheese and stuff your veggie).  Or perhaps just throw it on top of some quinoa, brown rice, farro or bulgur!

Ingredients
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 bunch Lacinato kale (Tuscan kale), cleaned and chopped - about 10 oz.
5-6 cloves garlic, sliced thin
1/2 cup water
Sprinkle crushed red pepper
Salt and pepper to taste

In a large skillet heat olive oil on medium-low heat.  Add the garlic and saute for a minute or two, just until fragrant, making sure it doesn't brown.  Add kale, stir and place a lid on for 2-3 minutes to allow kale to slightly wilt.  Next, add the water, season with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper and cook over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes (with lid on).  Remove lid and cook 2-3 minutes longer to help liquid evaporate.  Transfer to bowl and serve.
