This simple side dish transforms lacinato kale into a flavourful accompaniment. The kale is sliced into ribbons and quickly cooked in olive oil with garlic and a touch of red pepper. A splash of water helps it wilt, and a final drizzle of red wine vinegar adds brightness. Ready in just 16 minutes, it's a nutritious and easy addition to any dinner table.

Ingredients

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

Method

Remove the kale ribs by cutting along both sides and discarding them. Stack the leaves and slice them crosswise to create ribbons.
Warm the olive oil in a large skillet. Cook the garlic and crushed red pepper for 20 to 30 seconds until aromatic. Introduce the kale, tossing it for 3 minutes. Pour in the water and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the leaves have just wilted.
Finish by sprinkling with red wine vinegar and adding salt to your preference. Give everything a final toss before serving.
