Another green dream come true...GREENS, kale to be exact! 

I love greens, but I also love the minerals, calcium, vitamin A and C they come with:) When you boil, sauté or fry veggies you leach the nutrients from them. The key is to watch out for cooking veggies too long and with too much water. Cook them like precious gems...gently and without a great deal if water. Hope you enjoy my simple and clean take on cooking "greens"! Feedback please:)


Roasted Red Pepper & Garlic Kale

1 Bunch of Organic Kale Chopped in large chunks.
1/2 cup of Veggie Stock
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 small onion, minced
1/2 of 16 ounce jar of Roasted Red Peppers in Olive Oil / Chopped
Fresh Ground Pepper and Salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin Olive Oil.

Sauté garlic and onion in Olive Oil. Then add Roasted Red Peppers. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

Carefully transfer the garlic, onion and red peppers to a food processed or blender. Depending on the texture you prefer blend between slow and fast. I prefer mine in chunky bits. Add salt and pepper to taste. Taste and adjust the seasoning if need. Set to side.

Now for the kale!!!! Plain and simply...steam for less then a minute in 1inch of water. Covered. You can do this in a skillet, pot or steamer. Don't Microwave!!!! Remove steamed kale and strain excess water. Transfer to a mixing bowl, gentle toss in Roasted Red Pepper Sauce.  Yuuuuum!!!!!!
