Es’s Spinach and Kale
TRH Es's Roast Chicken with Tarragon and Lemon with Kale and Spinach2
Ingredients:
1 large bag of chopped kale
½ bag of baby spinach
3 T toasted pine nuts
1 t freshly grated Parmesan cheese (I added a bit extra as we ♥ freshly grated parmesan)
1 T fresh lemon juice
Method:
Toss the pine nuts into a dry non-stick pan and warm over medium heat until the oils begin to release from the nuts, about 5-8 minutes, shaking the pan frequently so they don’t burn. Set aside to cool.
Saute the kale in a large pan in a bit of water for ±5 minutes till wilted.
Add the spinach and saute another ±5 minutes, adding a few tablespoons of water if necessary.
Season with salt and pepper.
Once greens are wilted, remove from heat, stir in the Parmesan and lemon juice.
Serve, garnishing with a bit more Parmesan and the toasted pine nuts.
