Brain Healthy Ingredients: Cruciferous vegetables & dark leafy greens, Olive Oil

Fresh kale is quickly wilted with seasonings for a flavorful dose of antioxidants.

Just cook the garlic until it’s fragrant, not browned—or it may give the dish a burnt flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 bunches of kale
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 6 cloves garlic, chopped

Preparation

  1. Tear kale leaves from stalk and rip into pieces. Discard stalks. Rinse leaves well and pat dry
  2. Heat oil in pan over medium high heat
  3. Add kale, salt, and cayenne pepper and toss in oil with tongs until nearly wilted and bright green, about 3 minutes
  4. Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds, tossing while cooking
  5. Serve immediately
