Kale in Lemon Garlic Sauce




Kale is an amazing vegetable. It's one of the healthiest out there, and somehow the most delicious. This is a relatively simple recipe created entirely from improvisation, but it's a lot of fun and could easily be the centerpiece of a meal.

Ingredients:

  • Kale
  • 1/4th of a red pepper
  • 1/4th cup White wine (or cooking wine)
  • 1/4th a tablespoon Chili Powder
  • Lemon juice
  • 2 1/2 cloves of garlic
  • Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt & pepper


Wash the Kale and remove the stalk-heavy parts, then chop it into 3/4th inch wide strips.

 

Mince the garlic and finely chop the pepper. Sautée it with olive oil until the garlic is slightly browned.


Add butter and white wine to the concoction


Throw the Kale in with lemon juice, a little more wine, and salt and pepper. After it's reduced somewhat, sprinkle in the chili powder. This will give it a bit of a kick, but it's definitely worth it.



Enjoy!
