Quick Sautéed Kale Side Dish


1 large bunch of kale, sliced in thin strips
1 tsp oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
¼ to ½ tsp red chilli flakes
½ cup chicken or vegetable stock
3 cloves garlic, minced (or more to taste)
Juice from 1 lemon or lime (OR serve with lemon or lime wedges)
Salt to taste
  1. Cook the onion, garlic and chilli flakes in the oil until starting to soften. 
  2. Add the kale and vegetable stock; cover and lower the heat to obtain a simmer.
  3. Cook at least until the kale has wilted; kale can take a lot of cooking and, in fact, cooking for a long time helps with the texture. The trick is to make sure you haven't lost too much moisture from the sauce. 
  4. Uncover and sauté while the stock reduces and thickens into a bit of sauce.
  5. Add the lemon juice (if not serving with wedges) and season with salt. Cover and let steam while the rest of your meal finishes cooking.
  6. (Optional) Garnish with red pepper flakes and lemon wedges before serving.
