Kale, Simply Sauteed

A simple healthy side dish.

Wash one pound Kale, remove leaves from stems.  Rip kale into bite sized pieces.

Heat 3 tbsp butter or oil in a skillet, add 2 cloves chopped garlic, saute for a minute.

Add your chopped Kale and one cup of water.  Cover and cook for 5 minutes.

Uncover and add salt to taste (this will also keep the greens green!)

Give your kale a good flip and stir.  Cover and continue to cook until they are bright green and tender.  Add more water if liquid boils away.

Season with pepper and olive oil to taste.

If you wish, top with grates cheese, toasted nuts, cream sauce, or a vinaigrette for a warm salad.
