Grünkohl, a.k.a. the greens that are better than dessert

Believe it or not, this is so simple yet so delicious I postponed eating dessert so as to polish this off!

Ingredients

• Big bushel of fresh Grünkohl (curly kale, I believe)
• Butter
• Salt & pepper
• Cinnamon
• Squeeze of fresh lemon

Method

1. Wash the kale.
2. Pick the green leafy parts off the stems, tearing the greens into pieces. Discard the stems.
3. Put a chunk of butter into a warm pan and pile on the torn-up greens. It’s fine if they’re still a bit wet from the washing; in fact you want some drops of water in there.
4. Add shakes of salt, pepper, and cinnamon.
5. Let it all kind of wilt over medium heat until the kale is softened, stirring to distribute the spices and butter.
6. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon.
7. Eat seconds and thirds.
