The Most Awesome Sauteed Kale

I have an admission. I am a recovering kale hater. I have always known it was good for me but could never get my taste buds and my brain to agree on a plan for incorporating more leafy greens into my diet. Two important things happened that changed that.

The first – I was born hard-headed and I was determined to find a way to like the green leafy things that are so good for me. (Thanks, Mom and Dad.)

The second, I stumbled on Dinosaur Kale. I find Dino Kale to be prettier (because it is almost blue!) and less bitter than other varieties. If you decide to look for it at your market, you will also find it called Tuscan or Italian Kale or Lacinato Kale. (I personally think Dinosaur Kale is a much cooler name.)

Ingredients

• 1 large bunch kale, washed and coarsely chopped Dinosaur kale is my favorite
• 2-3 tablespoons coconut oil or olive oil
• 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes more or less to taste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2-3 shallots, sliced into rings
• 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
• kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Heat coconut oil in a large saute pan. Add shallots and allow them to cook 2-3 minutes or until translucent. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for one minute, stirring often to prevent burning.
2. Add kale, broth, and salt and pepper, mix well. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, tossing occasionally. Remove the cover and continue cooking until most of the broth has cooked away. Serve hot and Enjoy!
