½ cup cubed pancetta (or ¼ cup olive oil if not using pancetta)
1 clove garlic, sliced
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
zest of 1 lemon
1 large bunch kale, removed from stems and torn into bite-sized pieces
juice of ½ lemon
good-quality parmesan to taste, grated
Instructions
cook the pancetta in a large pan over medium heat until it's just beginning to crisp. (if not using pancetta, heat olive oil over medium heat.) stir in the garlic, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest, then immediately add in the kale. cook until just wilted, stirring often.
remove the pan from heat and stir in the lemon juice. transfer the kale to a plate and top with parmesan as desired.
