Instant Pot Kale

A no fuss recipe to cook kale. It's softened just enough. I used curly kale and left in the rib of each leaf, cutting just the stem at the bottom. I freeze the raw stems to later make vegetable broth. Flavors and seasoning added after the kale is cooked. The lemon adds tartness. A great way to get leafy greens into your diet, during any season.

Ingredients

Curly kale, two bunches

Water, one cup

Vegetable bouillon, 1 tbsp

Lemon, ½ fresh squeezed juice

Salt, to taste

Preparation

I used a metal vegetable steamer in the Instant Pot. Heat a cup of water in the microwave. Stir in the vegetable bouillon. Add that to the bottom of the pot. Cut and rinse kale in a large pan of water. Place the kale in the pot. Secure lid. Set high pressure for three minutes. Quick release before opening. Remove kale with tongs into a bowl. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the kale. Sprinkle the salt. I used a pink Himalayan salt. Serve warm. Served three or four.
