Lacinato kale, also called dinosaur kale or Tuscan kale, has a milder and less bitter flavor than the curly variety. This nutritious side dish is not only simple, it pairs well with most any protein.

Ingreadient

• 1 bunch lacinato kale, rinsed and dried
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• salt to taste

Direction

1. Cut along both sides of kale ribs and discard. Stack kale leaves and slice crosswise into ribbons.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic and crushed red pepper until fragrant, 20 to 30 seconds. Add kale; toss and saute for 3 minutes. Add water and continue cooking until kale is just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes more.
3. Drizzle with red wine vinegar and season with salt. Toss and serve.
