For a richer flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens the flavors and adds a touch of acidity. Feel free to experiment with other greens, such as spinach or chard. Do not overcook the kale. It should be tender but still have a slight bite.
