PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

3 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Massage the raw kale with a tiny bit of oil before cooking to break down tough fibers.
2
If the kale is too tough, add a tablespoon of water to the pan and cover for 1 minute to steam.
3
Use a wide skillet to avoid overcrowding, which helps the kale cook evenly.
