1 (7 oz) bunch of lacinato (Tuscan) kale (ribs trimmed)

Instructions

Trim broccolini so that the pieces are no thicker than the green beans. In a large bowl, combine broccolini, beans, and kale.

Drizzle with oil and toss well to coat.

Heat a cast-iron frying pan or wok over medium-high heat until very hot.

Working in 2 or 3 batches, add greens mixture and cook until charred, 6 to 8 minutes per batch. Transfer to a large bowl and repeat with remaining vegetables.

Toss greens mixture with red pepper flakes and garlic, season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few turns of the pepper mill. Taste, and adjust seasoning, if needed. Devour.
