Flash-Cooked Kale or Collards with Lemon Juice
- 1 to 1 1/2 pounds kale or collard greens
- 3 tablespoons peanut oil or extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, wine vinegar, or sherry vinegar
- Separate the stems and leaves of the greens.
- Chop the stems into 1-inch sections and shred the greens: stack them, then roll them up like a cigar and cut into thin strips.
- Put the oil in a large skillet or wok, well seasoned or nonstick, over high heat.
- When the oil smokes, toss in the stems.
- Cook, stirring almost constantly, until they begin to brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add the greens and continue to cook, stirring, until the greens wilt and begin to brown, less than 5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, season with salt and pepper, and add about 1/3 cup lemon juice.
- Taste, adjust the seasoning, and serve immediately or at room temperature.
