Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 300g (4 1/2 cups) kale, destemmed and cut into pieces
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil and add 17g (1 tbsp) of salt.
- Drop the kale into the water and cook for 3 minutes.
- [Option 1] Drain and serve immediately.
- [Option 2] If you’re not eating the kale immediately, then transfer the kale into an ice bath with a slotted spoon. Once the kale has cooled down, remove it from the water, then pat dry. Place in the fridge and use when needed.
Notes
- My favourite way to enjoy kale is by melting 28g (2 tbsp) butter in a frying pan and tossing the leaves around until everything has heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
