Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 bunch Kale
- 1 bunch Swiss chard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the kale and Swiss chard under cold water. Shake off excess water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Use a knife to remove the thick stems from the kale and Swiss chard. Tear or cut the leaves into large, manageable pieces.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely. Set aside.
Cut the lemon in half and juice it into a small bowl, removing any seeds. Set aside.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, combine the kale and Swiss chard leaves, minced garlic, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the leaves are evenly coated with the oil and garlic mixture.
Place a grill basket on the grill, and transfer the seasoned greens into the basket.
Grill the greens for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are wilted and have slightly charred edges.
Once grilled, remove the greens from the heat and immediately drizzle with the fresh lemon juice.
Toss to combine the flavors evenly and serve warm as a delicious paleo-friendly side dish.
