Cooking with Kale

Ingredients:
1 bunch of kale 
1-2 tablespoons of olive oil 
3-4 bunches of garlic 
¼ onion diced 
1 lemon 
salt & pepper to taste 


Mmmmm kale! Kale is one of new favorite vegetables trends. What’s great about kale is that it grows easily in the bay area and is very easy to take care of. Here’s my recipe for a simple way to cook some kale in less than 15 minutes:
Heat up olive oil in a medium sized pan. Sauté garlic for 15-30 seconds or until the garlic aroma releases. Throw in the onions until translucent, about 5-6 minutes. Toss in the kale and mix together. Cook until kale is soft. Turn off heat and squeeze about half a lemon or a whole lemon depending on taste and mix. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with grains, salad, or bread.
