Easy Sautéed Kale

Easy Sautéed Kale
Ingredients:
2 large bunches kale, any variety (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 1 small lemon

Instructions: 
1. With 2 large bunches of kale, use your hands to pull the kale leaves from their stems. Coarsely chop the leaves. Rinse them, but do not dry.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in large, wide, high-sided sauté pan over medium heat until shimmering. Add 3 cloves thinly sliced garlic and a pinch red pepper flakes, if using, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute (do not let the garlic brown).
3. Add the kale a few handfuls at a time, stirring after each addition so that it starts to wilt, until all of the kale is added. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale is just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the juice of 1 small lemon, and serve.
