Ingredients

  • 8-10 large kale leaves chopped into bite-size pieces, with stems removed.
  • 1 clove garlic crushed and minced
  • 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure cane sugar or any sweetener of your choice
  • 1 to 2 teaspoon nutritional yeast flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 3 tablespoons water

Instructions

  • Wash and chop your kale leaves.
  • On a medium to large skillet or frying pan, saute your crushed and minced garlic with your olive oil for about 1 minute or until garlic becomes fragrant. Don't let your garlic turn brown or burn, as your kale will taste bitter.
  • Add your prepared kale to the pan. Stir-fry the kale into the garlic, then add your 3 tablespoons of water and seasonings.
  • Allow your kale to steam for just a few minutes. My preference to cook my kale for no more 5 minutes. I love kale that is still somewhat chewy and has a living green color. Slimy, slug-green kale just doesn't appeal to my palate for some reason.
  • Serve hot.
