Stir-Fried Kale and Collard Greens

Purchase fresh kale and collard greens from your store's produce department.

Wash and dry kale and collard greens. Remove stems, and tear the leaves into pieces. Heat skillet and add 2 Tablespoons sesame oil. Add 1/4 cup chopped onion and 1/4 cup red pepper, and cook 1 minute. Stir in 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh ginger or 1 teaspoon ground ginger and 1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes. Add 3 cloves garlic, minced. Stir-fry one minute. Add 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Add greens and stir-fry 2 minutes. Cook 3 minutes, until greens are slightly wilted.

Note: I keep a jar of minced garlic in the refrigerator, because we like it in lots of dishes and use it often.
