Kale Sauté


½ bunch kale (doesn’t matter what kind)
¼ large red onion
2 cloves garlic
1/3 lemon
toasted pinenuts
parmesan
drizzle balsamic vinegar
salt pepper
red pepper flakes
Italian herb blend
cherry tomatoes

Adding lemon, or any citrus to your green vegetables is a good idea. It makes all the super fantastic nutrients easier for your digestive system to absorb!


Wash Kale thoroughly. Seriously. Then, strip the leaves off of the tough stems. Shred the leaves with a sharp knife. Heat olive oil in a pan and add the onion, salt, pepper, red pepper and herbs. Cook until the onion is tender. Add the minced garlic and cook an additional minute. Then add the shredded kale to the pan and toss until it wilts and cooks down. This only takes a minute. Don’t cook it too long, the longer it cooks, the more precious nutrients are destroyed by heat! Finally add the tomatoes, pinenuts, parmesan, balsamic and lemon juice. Heres to our health!
