Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
  • 1 bunch curly kale, ribs and stems removed
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Method

  • In a large skillet, bring the water to a boil.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of the salt and the kale leaves.
  • Simmer, uncovered, turning the leaves with tongs until all are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Drain the leaves in a colander, quickly pressing out any excess water with the back of a large wooden spoon.
  • Transfer the kale to a warmed bowl, add the oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes and toss well to coat.
  • Taste and season with additional salt if needed.
  • Serve with the lemon wedges.
