1 bunch fresh Kale, washed and chopped into bite-size pieces
1 yellow Onion, sliced
1-2 cloves Garlic (or Garlic Scapes), minced or finely chopped
2-3 Tbsp extra virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup vegetable Broth or water
Juice of 1/4 Lemon
Sea salt and pepper to taste
1. Warm olive oil over medium heat in a large pot or pan.
Add onions and cook 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly translucent.
2. Add garlic and kale, and mix them with the onion.
Allow this to cook only a minute.
3. Add vegetable broth and simmer 4-6 minutes, covered.
Check kale for tenderness starting at the 4 minute mark.
4. Add sea salt, pepper, and just a few drops of lemon juice.
Add lemon slowly so as not to sour.
Stir once more and serve.

Kale is a member of the cabbage family and is an excellent source of vitamin C,
beta carotene, chlorophyll, and manganese. It also contains some iron, calcium, and potassium.
