When the rest of your dinner is ready, the table is set, and everyone is ready to sit down, get your ingredients lined up in preparation for the quick cooking of this super fast super food. Once the preparation starts, you are literally seconds away from completion.
This recipe should serve two, generously. I am willing to bet that you will double the recipe the next time you make it. Kale is the most nutrient dense green on the planet. Prepared this way, I think it is also the most delicious.Enjoy.
Ingredients:
5 to 6 oz. kale, stems removed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon kosher sea salt
1/3 cup raw walnuts or raw pecans
1 clove garlic, minced or grated
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (eyeball it)
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Zest of 1 lemon
1/3 cup imported Italian Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Preparation:
Remove the stems and chop the kale into strips about ¼ to ½ inch wide, wash it, and shake off as much water as you can. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in the widest skillet you own. Add the kale and salt to the pan and cook for less than a minute, just long enough for the kale to lose a bit of its structure. Stir in the nuts and garlic, wait 10 seconds, then grate the nutmeg over the kale, and stir it in. Wait ten seconds again and stir in the lemon juice and zest.
Remove from heat and serve dusted with Parmesan cheese.
That's what I'm talkin' about.
