Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams kale
- 1 medium red onion
- 100 grams feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Wash the kale thoroughly, remove the stems, and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Peel and slice the red onion into thin half-moons.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the sliced red onions to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the kale to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the kale is wilted and tender.
Season the kale mixture with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir well to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Drizzle the lemon juice over the kale and toss gently to coat.
Crumble the feta cheese over the kale and red onion mixture. Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy as a light main course.
