Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 6 cups Fresh spinach leaves, washed and dried
- 3 cups Kale leaves, stems removed and leaves roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the kale to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften.
Add the spinach to the skillet, stirring to combine with the kale. Continue to stir-fry until the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the soy sauce over the greens, add the red pepper flakes, and stir well to incorporate.
Cook for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring that the greens are tender but still bright in color.
Remove the skillet from the heat and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the greens.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then toss everything together to combine thoroughly.
Serve immediately as a side dish or light main course.
