Lately I've been obsessed with adding kale into my diet. The hubster is very glad my asparagus kick is over (at least for now). Up until a few months ago, I thought kale was the weird yucky stuff restaurants add as a "garnish".
We all love Pinterest and that's where I decided to finally branch out and try kale chips. Since I love potato chips (I know, I know...unhealthy right? Nope! Moderation is key peeps). All I had to do was rinse the kale, toss with olive oil and salt, and then pop it in the oven for about 10 minutes. So easy! And they tasted great!
The kale chips inspired me to venture out further. This past mother's day, my husband took me to The Wild Cow, a vegetarian restaurant in East Nashville. It was there when I fell in love with...garlicky kale! I had to learn how to make it myself. Turns out it was pretty easy :)
Just mince some garlic and start to saute!
Add a HUGE bunch of kale. It looks like a lot but it will cook down to not very much.
See???
Of course, I wasn't going to just eat this by itself. Its good to add to cooked quinoa or pasta. Speaking of pasta, that's what I chose to add to make a complete meal. I was exhausted after work and we had leftover Annie's Organic pasta. Soooooo....it was a spluge kind of night. Doesn't this look good?
BON APPETIT!
INGREDIENTS:
* 2 cloves freshly minced/pressed garlic
* 2 cups organic kale (kale is on the dirty dozen list so buy organic if you can!)
*1 Tbsp EVOO
* salt as needed
DIRECTIONS:
* Heat olive oil in a pan and saute the garlic. Then add the kale. You may desire to add more olive oil at this point. Up to you. Now add to a dish or eat it as a side. YUM!
