Sautéed Kale with Tomatoes

2 Tbsp. olive oil 

1 bunch red Russian kale, stems removed, and chopped (I like to leave the stems in)

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced in halves, or 2 tomatoes, diced

Juice of 1/2 a lemon

Salt and pepper to taste

Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large sauté pan. 

Add the chopped kale and sauté until slightly wilted, about 1 minute.

Add the garlic and tomatoes. Sauté for an additional 2  minutes until the tomatoes are soft. 

Add the lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
