Sauteed Tuscan Kale recipe

To prepare this dish you need

1                   Bunch of Tuscan Kale , I prefer the flat leaves
1/2                Yellow onion
2                   Garlic cloves
1/8 cup          Pignoli nuts
2 Tbs             Olive oil
                      Sea salt and black pepper to taste



First thing you want to do is rinse your kale and let it dry off in your dish rack.  Next, peel  the onion and garlic, cut both into thin slices. Set aside.  On a cutting board, cut the kale into 1/2 inch slices, set aside in a bowl.  Heat your pan, best if it a cast iron one. Heat your olive oil, start with the onion until glossy, next add in the garlic.  Keep stirring, the garlic will smell great!  Drop in the pignoli nuts and stir.   Add in the kale and stir quickly.   Season with salt and fresh ground pepper.
Use kitchen tongs to mix your kale with the onions and garlic, the color will be bright green, now you may add a touch of water like 2 Tbs, and let the pan steam it. Lower the heat so you don't burn the kale.
The sauteing process should take no longer than 5 to 8 minutes, once you have your kale in the pan.

I love my vegetables al dente!  The brighter the better.
