This easy sautéed kale with garlic and olive oil gets a slight kick from red chili flakes. It's a fantastic side dish and becomes a meal when tossed with al dente pasta Slideshow: Recipes for Greens

Why is my Kale always tough and chewy?

I think you mean "cover and steam," not "cover and saute."

really enjoyed this recipe! it's super simple and i don't know why i haven't been adding chili flakes to my kale before! i added my kale straight from the bag (prepackaged) so there wasn't much water content to help steam it. instead, i added about 2 tbps of chicken broth, which doubled for extra flavor.

This is yummy, but I also sauté a nice fat sliced shallot and some sun-dried tomato with the garlic. And, being currently Keto, I add a nice splash of heavy cream while it’s cooking. Delish.

Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. I love kale and typically only eat raw or as kale chips.
