Answer 2

Cooking kale is a simple process that can be done in various ways. Here's a basic method for cooking kale:

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch of kale
• Olive oil or butter
• Garlic (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Lemon juice (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the kale: Wash the kale leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Remove the tough stems by either tearing the leaves off or using a knife to cut them away.

2. Chop: Once the stems are removed, chop the kale leaves into bite-sized pieces.

3. Heat the oil or butter: In a large skillet or pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil or butter over medium heat. You can add minced garlic at this stage for extra flavor if desired.

4. Sauté: Add the chopped kale to the pan. Stir it around to coat the leaves with the oil or butter. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kale is wilted and tender. If you prefer your kale softer, you can cook it for a few minutes longer.

5. Season: Season the kale with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness if you like.

6. Serve: Once the kale is cooked to your desired level of tenderness, remove it from the heat and serve immediately as a side dish or as part of a larger meal.
