Our Quick Recipe

  1. Pull the kale leaves from their stems. Coarsely chop the leaves. Thoroughly wash and rinse the kale, drain and set aside.
  2. Add oil into sauté pan over medium heat. Add in chopped onion, garlic, bell peppers and seasonings. Stir until fragrant, about 1 minute (do not let the garlic brown).
  3. Add the kale a few handfuls at a time, stirring after each addition. You can add in ¼ cup of water or broth to prevent the kale from sticking. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the kale is just tender, about 10 minutes.
  4. Remove from the heat, serve and enjoy!

You may pair the kale with a protein and starch of choice for a balanced meal. For example, cooked salmon and rice pilaf.
