Creamed Kale

1 bunch of Kale
2 cloves garlic minced
3 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese (I use more)
1/4 of a lemon
water
salt and pepper


Remove and discard stems of kale.  Roughly chop.  
Heat about 2 teaspoons olive oil in pan on medium-high heat.  Add kale and 1/2 cup water.  Season with salt and pepper.  Cook, stirring frequently for 2 to 4 min. or until kale has wilted and liquid is cooked off.  Transfer to a strainer.  Hold or rest the strainer over a bowl.  Using a spoon, press down to release as much liquid as possible.  Transfer kale to cutting board and finely chop (optional).  
Heat a little more oil in the pan, add garlic.  Cook, stirring frequently, for 30 sec. to a minute (till frequent).  Add kale, butter and 1/4 cup water.   Season with salt and pepper.  Cook, stirring frequently, about 3-4 min.  Until heated through and combined.  Remove from heat, stir in cheese.   Squeeze lemon as desired.
