Sauteed Kale with cherry tomatoes, garlic and lemon
- 250g kale, sliced into 1-2cm wide ribbons
- 250g cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- Juice of two lemons
- Salt
- Extra virgin olive oil
This a great way of cooking all sorts of leafy greens, from kale to cabbage, perpetual spinach and sprout tops to accompany almost any meal. The lemon adds a fantastic freshness that really lifts the dish, the cherry tomatoes are great summery addition, but can be left out if you haven’t got any to hand.
Method
- Heat a heavy based pan with a lid on a medium heat, add a splash of oil and the chopped garlic.
- Add the kale to the pan before garlic has started to brown. Add a splash of cold water, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, give the kale a stir and add in the halved cherry tomatoes.
- When the tomatoes have started to break down (around 5 mins), add the lemon juice and cook for a further 2 minutes. Season to taste with plenty of salt and black pepper, drizzle with some olive oil and serve as a side to all manner of dishes.
