The ingredients for Lemon-Basil Kale are:

* 6 cups chopped kale
* 2 cups water
* 2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
* 2 garlic cloves, minced
* 15 fresh basil leaves, washed and cut into fine ribbons
* Sea salt to taste
* 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice

Here is how you make Lemon-Basil Kale:

1. Wash kale and strip the leaves off of the stalks, discarding the stalks. Tear or chop the kale into bite-sized pieces. 2. In a 10- to 12-inch skillet that has a lid, bring the water to a boil, then add the kale, cover, and cook over high heat until tender, approximately 5 minutes. Stir occasionally while cooking. 3. Remove the kale and drain, saving the liquid for drinking. (I did this?it?s not tasty but it?s really good for you!) 4. Rinse and dry the skillet, then heat the olive oil in it over medium heat, lifting and tilting pan to coat. 5. Add garlic and sizzle for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent browning or burning. 6. Add basil and saute for 15 more seconds. 7. Add kale and stir until heated through, then remove from heat. 8. Season with sea salt, stir in lemon juice, and serve immediately.Number of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JKLAFOLLETTE.
