Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 8 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 4 cups Kale, stems removed and coarsely chopped
- 0.25 cup Low sodium vegetable broth
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the kale to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes until the kale begins to wilt.
Add the spinach leaves to the skillet along with the low sodium vegetable broth. Stir frequently as the spinach wilts, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Sprinkle the red pepper flakes over the greens and add the lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
Season the greens with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove from heat, transfer to a serving dish, and serve immediately.
