Lacinato kale, also called dinosaur kale or Tuscan kale, has a milder and less bitter flavor than the curly variety. This nutritious side dish is not only simple, it pairs well with most any protein.

Ingredients

1 bunch lacinato kale, rinsed and dried
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
salt to taste

Directions

Cut along both sides of kale ribs and discard. Stack kale leaves and slice crosswise into ribbons.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic and crushed red pepper until fragrant, 20 to 30 seconds. Add kale; toss and saute for 3 minutes. Add water and continue cooking until kale is just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes more.
Drizzle with red wine vinegar and season with salt. Toss and serve.

Cook's Note:

You can use lemon juice instead of red wine vinegar.
