Sautéed Kale With Garlic and Olive Oil image

This recipe from 1992 was ahead of the curve on the kale trend. It gives a good basic preparation for this now ubiquitous leafy green: trim, blanch, drain, sautée (do not overcook), then serve immediately and often.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 pounds kale greens
Boiling salted water
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

  • Trim the stems off the kale. Blanch the leaves in boiling salted water. Drain and refresh the leaves under cold running water. (The kale can be set aside at this point until just before you are ready to serve it.)
  • Heat the oil in a skillet and saute the garlic for one minute. Add the kale, a few handfuls of leaves at a time, and saute until tender, for about 10 minutes. (Do not overcook.) Serve immediately.
