This quick and easy way to get kale into your diet will soon become an addiction. The sweet, browned onions perfectly balance the slightly bitter taste of the kale, making a delightful side to any dish. Toss some meat or tempeh into the pan, and you have a complete meal. Other vegetables can also be added.
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/2 onion, sliced thin
2 cloves garlic, minced or sliced thin
3-4 cups chopped kale
3 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
Pinch salt
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute the onion for 5-7 minutes, until soft and frgrant. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Throw the kale on top of the onions; cover and let steam for 3-5 minutes, until bright green and slightly wilted.
Remove the kale to a plate and drizzle with a little olive oil. Top with the onions and sprinkle with the flaxseeds and salt. Serve warm.
