Easy Sautéed Kale

Hey babes it’s been ages since I’ve done a recipe post. But this Sunday I got some fresh kale and who was I to deny such great feast. Kale, if you didn’t know, is a superfood. Like a mega super food. It’s amazing for your skin as well as acne anddddd if that wasn’t good enough for you, it helps with weightloss and lowers cholesterol. Ummmm hello, you should be running to the grocery right. this. minute. for a bunch of these babies.

Okay so I won’t lie, the first time I tried kale, I wasn’t a huge fan of it but then when I decided to sauté it one day, it was the best decision ever- besides drinking it in smoothies ofc. Check out my easy peasy recipe that you’ll love.

Kale usually comes in big green bunches like this but you wanna be sure to strip the leaves off the stem because that part is just too hard to digest.

To a medium skillet, drizzle some oil and add some chopped red onions. Cook until the onions are nice and soft.

Add your kale to the skillet and I like adding it just after I washed it so that it has some water droplets that would help it sauté beautifully. I personally don’t like adding water to it other than that but if you must, be veryyyy careful or else you’ll end up with a soggy mess.

While it’s cooking, gently stir and if it starts to dry out, add a very little bit of water, just to keep the pan moist or else the kale will burn. Sprinkle some black pepper and cook until the kale is wilted and tender.

And that’s it.

No really. That’s is. You can eat it just like that or add it to a side of baked salmon and asparagus like what I did. #YUM
