Lemon Glazed Greens

Ingredients:

1 Pound Kale, or other hearty greens
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
4 Cloves Garlic, minced
4 Tablespoons Pine Nuts
1/2 Jalapeno, diced
1 Teaspoon Minced Ginger
2 Lemon, zested
3 Tablespoons Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
1 Tablespoon Honey
1 1/2 Teaspoons Kosher Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
1 Tablespoon Sesame Seeds

Directions:

 

  • Remove any large stems from the greens and wash them thoroughly; do so in a sink with at least 5 inches of water. Moving the leaves around in the water and allowing them to sit for a few minutes to allow the sand or dirt to fall to the bottom of the sink.
  • Once clean, cut the greens with the RSVP Cut 'N Chunks. You should have 1 to 1 1/4 pounds finished greens once they are stemmed. (Weigh the greens after stemming, but before washing.)
  • Heat a large wok or sauté pan over medium heat.
  • Once hot, add the olive oil.
  • Add the garlic, pine nuts, jalapeno, ginger, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper and stir to combine.
  • Add the greens and saute for 4 to 5 minutes, tossing continually.
  • Add the red pepper flakes and the sesame seeds.
  • Toss to combine. Adjust seasoning, if needed.
  • Serve immediately.
