You’ve just got to try this, even if you think you don’t like kale, you will be a convert!
Holy Guacamole, this is so good~
The first time I had it was at the Flora Bama Yacht Club, a definite dive bar and diner on the Florida/Alabama state line [photo source]
It just happens to have fabulous food created by a rising star, local chef [photo source]
I know Guy Fieri is on his way there any minute for an episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives
Did I mention the kale was only the garnish for the Lobster corn dogs I ordered?
The lobster corn dogs were really more like Lobster Tempura, but I paid no attention to the lobster until every last little precious green morsel was gone
Seriously, it’s that good~
AND so easy to make at home 😋
I used prewashed, chopped kale
You can’t beat it for convenience, but the down side is that all the stems haven’t been removed
Drizzle some quality [extra virgin, cold pressed] olive oil into a large skillet and add freshly minced garlic. Heat over medium high heat, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes, until you start to smell the garlic
Add kale and stir. It will wilt down like spinach
If you see any thick stems as you’re cooking, remove them and set them aside to discard
Cut the large pieces down with kitchen scissors as needed, turning them into ribbons
The kale is ready when it starts to darken, softens and then begins to crisp
