Notes
What’s the best type of kale to use for sautéed kale? Curly kale, lacinato kale (also called dinosaur kale), or red kale all work well in this recipe. Garden kale tends to have especially fresh flavor and a more tender texture when picked young.Do you remove the stems from kale before cooking? Yes. Kale stems can be tough, especially on larger leaves. I like to strip the leaves from the stems, then chop or tear the kale into bite-sized pieces before sautéing.Can I use store-bought kale instead of garden kale? Absolutely. If you don’t have a garden, store-bought kale works just fine. Just wash it well and remove any thick stems before cooking.How long does sautéed kale last in the refrigerator? Leftover sautéed kale keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3 to 4 days. It reheats nicely in a skillet for an easy side dish the next day.
