Ingredients:
1 bunch Lacinato (Dino) kale, ribs cut or stripped out
1/2 garlic clove, finely chopped
1/4 cup grated Romano cheese
Extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
Pinch of dried chili flakes
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs

Directions:
1. Stack several kale leaves on top of one another and roll up tightly into a cigar-like shape. Cut the roll into thin ribbons and soak in cold water. Rinse, then thoroughly dry in a salad spinner and pile it into a large bowl.

2. Chop your garlic clove until you have a paste. It helps to smush it with the side of your knife, chop, smush, and repeat. Transfer to a small bowl, add your grated Romano cheese, a glug of olive oil, the lemon juice, chili flakes, a pinch or two of salt, and many twists of black pepper. Whisk to combine thoroughly.

3. Pour the dressing over the kale and combine with your hands and let sit for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust to your liking. Top with a touch more oil, grated cheese, and breadcrumbs – make these yourself from high quality bread (slice, bake in oven on lowest setting until dry, pulverize in a food processor).
