Instructions
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large saute pan.
- Add the garlic and onion, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant being careful not to burn.
- Add the kale and stir to combine with the garlic and onion and coat in olive oil. Add the lemon zest, and saute the kale for a couple minutes so it wilts slightly.
