Instructions
Rinse kale very thoroughly to remove grit.
On a cutting board, cut out the kale ribs (the hard center line). Discard the ribs.
Chop the kale coarsely, then set aside for later.
Place a skillet over medium heat.
In the skillet, add 1 teaspoon olive oil.
Add pine nuts and brown for approximately 90 seconds, or until slightly golden.
Carefully take out approximately ½ tablespoon of the pine nuts, and place on paper towels to drain off grease. Set aside for later.
In the skillet with the pine nuts, add garlic, and saute for approximately 60 seconds.
In the skillet, add bell pepper (if using) and saute for 60 seconds.
Add in the red onion, and the oregano. Toss to coat the onions for 60 seconds.
Add in kale and 1 tablespoon water.
Saute approximately 2 to 3 minutes, or until the kale has just wilted and the water has evaporated.
Season with salt and pepper.
Drizzle with a small amount of lemon juice.
To serve, garnish with reserved pine nuts.
