- 1 bunch broccolini
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the kale and broccolini.
Remove the thick stems from the kale and cut or rip the leaves into big pieces.
Cut and remove the ends of the broccolini and leave the rest in whole stalks.
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, juice from the lemon, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the kale and broccolini in a large mixing bowl and pour the olive oil mixture over them. Toss well to ensure even coating.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Remove the greens from the grill and transfer to a serving dish.
