Sear Kale?

Did you ever SEAR kale? Not steam, no. Not sauté. ⁠

When you sear kale, you press garlicky oil into the softening leaves, turning them a forest green, spotted with yellows and browns. Their edges may crisp, like chips, but only a little. ⁠

Unlike steamed or sautéed greens, which become watery and bland in a day, seared greens stay flavorful for a week. And because seared greens don’t “weep,” they won’t dull a dish they’re in. ⁠
