This recipe is a family favorite, inspired by traditional Italian cooking methods, where the kale is lightly sautéed to preserve its texture and nutrients. It’s a delicious way to get your greens in while savoring the authentic flavors of Italy!
This kale side dish is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making it an excellent addition to any meal.
