The City Market returns

The City Market returned last weekend. Yesterday I made the rounds and was glad to see old vendors and new, including MarieBette, which had many tasty treats out. I had a canele, which I've seen described as being "sort of like a hand-held creme brulee." I'm looking forward to seeing them at the City Market every week!

I also saw Elena, who had some nice greens, including lettuce and kale. This is an easy way to get some greens in during the early spring.

Sautéed Kale

1–2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more for serving

150 grams baby kale or other tender greens

kosher or flaky sea salt

freshly ground black pepper

    1. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the kale and stir to coat with the oil. Season with salt and pepper and stir again. Sauté briefly until the kale is just starting to wilt.

    2. Add 2 tablespoons of water to the pan, cover immediately, and steam for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Taste for salt and pepper. Drizzle with a little fresh oil, then serve promptly. Serves 2.
